Umhlanga is a residential, commercial and resort town north of Durban on the coast of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. It is part of the eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality, created in 2000, which includes the greater Durban area.
The Pier, another firm favourite with photographers, stretches for 80m, was built in 2007 and represents a whale’s skeleton. In 2006 unusually high waves battered the Umhlanga shoreline, resulting in extensive repair work and new features.

The majestic Voortrekker Monument is situated in the northern part of South Africa in the Pretoria (Tshwane) region in a nature reserve. It is a unique Monument which commemorates the Pioneer history of Southern Africa and the history of the Afrikaner and is situated in a beautiful setting.
The Monument was inaugurated in 1949. It was designed by architect Gerard Moerdijk. In the Hall of Heroes is the world’s longest historical marble frieze. A tapestry with more than three million stitches is housed in the Cenotaph Hall.
Today it is the most visited heritage site of its kind in Gauteng and one of the top ten cultural historical visitor attractions in the country. It is also the only Grade 1 national Heritage Site in Pretoria. The Monument also manages the Blood River Heritage Site.
The Beacon Island Resort at Plettenberg Bay, based along the picturesque Garden Route, is one of the most sought-after holiday destinations in South Africa. Built on a rocky promontory jutting into the warm Indian Ocean, Beacon Island’s idyllic beachfront setting remains unsurpassed.
