Location & Surroundings

Eshowe is a historic town in Zululand, KwaZulu-Natal, surrounded by indigenous coastal forest and known for its rich Zulu heritage, natural beauty and relaxed small-town atmosphere. It is considered the oldest town in Zululand and provides a convenient base for exploring the surrounding Zululand and North Coast areas.

The town has a fascinating history connected to several Zulu kings, including Shaka, Mpande, Cetshwayo and Dinuzulu. King Cetshwayo was born and died in the area, while a Norwegian missionary established a mission station here in 1861. During the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879, Eshowe became a British military headquarters and was besieged by Zulu forces for approximately 10 weeks.

Nature lovers can explore the Dlinza Forest, a large indigenous coastal scarp forest known for its birdlife, butterflies, indigenous trees and peaceful walking trails. The Dlinza Forest Aerial Boardwalk allows visitors to experience the forest from above, with a canopy walkway and observation tower offering views over the surrounding forest.

Other attractions include Fort Nongqayi and the Zululand Historical Museum, the Vukani Museum, the Eshowe Butterfly Dome and various cultural experiences celebrating the area's Zulu heritage. Guests can enjoy birdwatching, hiking, nature walks, photography and guided cultural experiences, while those wanting to explore further can visit attractions and game reserves throughout the wider Zululand region.

Eshowe also offers convenient everyday facilities, including shopping centres, restaurants, cafés, banks, medical facilities and other local services. Guests can visit areas such as Eshowe Mall, Eshowe Shopping Centre and The Atrium for shopping and dining.

A stay in Eshowe offers a combination of history, Zulu culture, nature, birding and small-town hospitality, making it an appealing destination for guests looking to experience a quieter side of KwaZulu-Natal while remaining within reach of the region's attractions.
