About Richards Bay
When I cruised past Richards Bay on the MSC Sinfonia, I was astounded at the number of ships we joined - Richards Bay has the largest purpose built port for the export of coal. However, to experience Richards Bay one should look past the industry at the game reserves and beautiful beaches. The popular Tuzi Gazi Waterfront derives its name from the 2 rivers flowing into the harbour, the Mzingazi and Umhlathuze. If you enjoy hiking and bird watching, pop by the Enseleni Nature Reserve. If you enjoy the ocean, book a dolphin viewing charter.
