With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to explore all that Eshowe, 18 miles away, has to offer. Shakaland should be toward the top of your list here. Vukani Zulu Cultural Museum and Dlinza Forest Aerial Boardwalk are also not to be missed. The locals are also likely to point you toward KwaDukuza, 55 miles away. If you can only see one thing here, make sure it’s King Shaka Memorial. (But we’d also highly recommend Dukuza Museum and Prince’s Grant Golf Course.)
