Richard’s Bay, South Africa

As one of South Africa’s largest harbors, Richard’s Bay stands as the tourist’s gateway to Zululand, once the mightiest of the sub-Saharan African Kingdoms. Once a small sleepy fishing village, it’s now the largest export coal terminal in the world.

Richards Bay hosts amazing outdoor adventures including safaris to Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Game Reserve, surfing and bird watching. Or choose to spend your time here strolling through art museums and relaxing at the pristine warm beaches on the north coast of KwaZulu Natal.
