The Dlinza Forest Aerial Boardwalk in Eshowe is a 150 metre long walkway built above the Dlinza Forest floor, which allows visitors to view flora, fauna and avifauna at treetop level. It includes a 20 metre high tower, offering dramatic views of both the forest canopy and surrounding countryside.

The Dlinza Forest is on The Zululand Birding Route, and is home to all sorts of rare birds and little creatures. Over 90 species of birds inhabit the forest, as well as 85 different types of butterflies. On a hiking trail whilst tuning in to the happy chatter of the birds, you can spot blue duikers, bushpigs, chameleons, beetles, bushbuck and much much more. Some of the birds that inhabit the forest are Crowned Eagles, Narina Trogon, Spotted Ground Thrush, Green Twinspot, Purple Crested Turaco, Eastern Bronze-naped Pigeon, Olive Woodpecker, Chorister Robin-chat, Trumpeter Hornbill, Delegorgue’s Pigeon and many more.

Next we visit Shaka Memorial, a provincial heritage site in KwaDukuza in the KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa. It marks the resting place of the Zulu King Shaka near the site where he was assassinated by his half-brothers Dingane and Mhlangana while sitting on a rock near the barracks at his capital Dukuza.
