A new rural tourism experience has been launched along the KZN South Coast by the South Coast Tourism & Investment Enterprise (SCTIE), to help promote rural tourism along KwaZulu Natal’s stunning South Coast.

Last month, the Emalangeni Experience was officially launched, expanding the region’s rural tourism offerings and unique experiences.

“Emalangeni is a scenic rural area near Pennington in Umdoni which is home to beautiful accommodation sites and exquisite views,” Deborah Ludick, Acting CEO of SCTIE, said in a press release.

“By establishing this route, we’re connecting the popular tourist town of Pennington with this rural setting, opening up Emalangeni to a new market. The route gives visitors a more authentic experience of the region through cultural engagements, while supporting entrepreneurs and local job creations.” Ludick added.

What’s on offer along the new South Coast route?

Visitors who explore the new route can pass by the historic Botha House in Pennington, which provides guided tours to those interested in learning about the house’s fascinating history. They can also hike at the Umdoni Park Nature Reserve, play a round of golf at the Umdoni Country Club, or have a delicious meal and nature walk at Forest Cottage, or Buzy Corner Shisanyama and the Basset Breweries for some local dining choices.

The route also offers a number of accommodation options for the weary traveller, such as Essential Lifestyle Country Lodge, the Ohlwini Garden Lodge, and Phiri’s Bed ‘n Breakfast.

Other activities and attractions along this new South Coast route include the beautiful Blue-Flag Pennington Beach, Nkomba Nature Reserve and the Selborne Golf Club.
