In Port Shepstone you can board the Banana Express for a scenic day-trip. It is an old steam train which runs on a narrow gauge railway line, and puffs sedately along the coast and into the the hinterland.

Theres rich, authentic and living Zulu culture to imbibe, plus the unmistakable motifs of sub-continental Indian influence. Easy access to the southern slopes of our much-visited and photographed Berg - the Drakensberg mountain range - offers the traveller yet more-contemplative moments with majestic, inspiring peaks and timeless rock-paintings. This fascinating art form, coupled with archaeological finds across the region, places the Khoi and San folk on the South Coast millennia before King Shaka Zulu tested the limits of his empire during the early 1800s.
