Dolphin Coast Travel Guide

'Ballito, Salt Rock, Dolphins, Shaka and Zimbali are some of the terms associated with this up-market beach tourism Mecca of the Zulu Kingdom of KwaZulu-Natal'

Magical encounters with our planet's most endearing sea-creatures, a walk in the footsteps of Africa's mightiest historic king, gourmet delights overlooking a warm, moonlit Indian Ocean ...

Welcome to our idyllic lifestyle in sub-tropical, natural splendour.

This is Ilembe territory in praise of wise and courageous King Shaka where the 19th century monarch consolidated his Zulu empire, and handmaidens of the royal household gathered salt from tidal pools while delighting at the spectacle of two hundred bottle-nose dolphins gamboling and feeding in the shallows.

Subsequent waves of colonial adventurers and expatriates from the Indian sub-continent harmonized with the indigenous civilization to create the sophisticated, fascinating cultural mosaic which offers today's visitor our unique blend of ultra-modern facilities and ancient traditions in the most picturesque, malaria-free setting imaginable.
