Richard’s Bay is a popular eco tourist attraction located on the north coast of KwaZulu-Natal on the uMhlatuze River. The Richard's Bay Game Sanctuary protects the wildlife around the lagoon, including 300 species of birds. If you are planning a visit to Mozambique during your South Africa holiday, Richard’s Bay is a must as it is the last major centre before the border with Mozambique.

Richard's Bay has an airport which connects various cities in South Africa, and is a convenient place to fly from to Johannesburg after visiting Durban and the Zululand big game parks.
