Zinkwazi Views Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Enigma_DKL: Unfortunately our area is under serious water restrictions as our supply comes from Hazelmere which is at a low. This has resulted into Zinkwazi having interrupted supply of water and there has been digging going on by the water towers.

Will put this one to rest

Thanks to those who found it

Geocache Description:

Zinkwazi Views


A cache placed on a vantage point, with almost a 360 degree view overlooking Zinkwazi.  On a clear day, you will be able to see the ships coming in.

Please bring your own pen.

Zinkwazi, which takes its name from the Zulu word for white-headed fish eagle, is a small village with an unexploited 7 kilometre lagoon that lies amongst lush sub-tropical vegetation that is typical of the north coast of KwaZulu Natal.

Just 85 kilometres from Durban, on the N2 past Stanger, Zinkwazi is well known for its incredible bird life and its proximity to the Zululand Birding Route - a conservation project that promotes birding tourism by offering up-to-date information, local guides, brochures and itineraries for birders in an area where some 600 species have been recorded.

The lagoon of Zinkwazi opens on to a safe, protected beach that is just one of several beaches along this coast that form part of a nature conservancy, including lush indigenous forests, tropical palms and endless beaches both north and south of this pretty little village.

Zinkwazi provides ferry rides along the lagoon, used for upriver bird spotting, wine tasting or simply to experience the relaxation of being on water. Golf enthusiasts have a number of courses to choose from including the Zimbali golf course, the Durban Country Club, Umhlali Country Club and Mount Edgecombe - all world class courses. Zinkwazi also lies in the heart of the King Shaka Route and is close to many an historical Anglo-Zulu battlefield.
