Mtunzini (Um-tin-zee-knee) is a small coastal town that is situated almost exactly halfway along KwaZulu-Natal's coastline in South Africa approximately 120Km north of Durban. The name is an isiZulu meaning place in the shade. After the breakup of the Zulu kingdom after the Anglo-Zulu War, Sir Garnet Wolseley created 13 'kinglets' - with two strategically located as buffer zones between Port Natal and Zululand. One of these kinglets was John Dunn who used Mtunzini as his capital. Mtunzini boasts, among other attractions, pristeen beaches, an 18 hole golf course at the Mtunzini Country Club, the Tradewinds Hotel, numerous Bed-and-Breakfast establishments as well as a range of camping, caravanning and other self contained holiday accommodations. Be warned, the beach are NOT protected by shark nets due to Mtunzini's proximity to a shark breeding ground populated by Zambezi Sharks as well as many others. This fact notwithstanding, the waves at Mtunzini are described by surfers as being some of the better ones to surf on the North Coast.
