The opportunity deals with the provision of tourism related facilities within the iLembe region. The King Shaka Heritage Route was initiated in 2001 through the iLembe Job Creation Model. The route focuses on existing tourism products around the KwaDukuza area with emphasis on the King Shaka sites i.e. King Shaka’s Grave, Memorial Gardens, Interpretive Centre; Mavivane Execution Cliff; King Shaka’s Pool and Spring; Observation and High Rocks.

The aim of the creation of the King Shaka Heritage Route is to open-up new geographically diverse commercial opportunities and to increase visitor numbers to the area by offering a wholistic tourism experience offering history and cultural options in addition to the beautiful coastal experiences. 

Enterprise iLembe recently completed the Concept Document, Business & Implementation Plan for the route.
