The map
Eshowe stands on high ground in KwaZulu-Natal, inland from the coast, in the historic heart of Zululand. From above, the town wraps around the Dlinza Forest, a patch of indigenous forest that sits within the town itself, so its streets curve around a large green space rather than running through it.
The Dlinza Forest is known for its aerial boardwalk, which carries visitors through the canopy, and for its birdlife. Nearby Fort Nongqayi, a late nineteenth-century fort, houses a museum complex. Beyond town, roads wind down through rolling hills, sugar cane fields and rural homesteads.
An Eshowe map poster shows a town shaped by its terrain and its forest. The streets follow the contours of the hill, the forest forms a quiet shape at the centre, and the roads leading away spread out into the open countryside.
The indigenous forest occupies a large area within the town, with streets curving around its edges and very little crossing it.
Roads follow the shape of the ridge and slopes, giving the town an irregular, flowing pattern rather than a strict grid.
Outside the town, winding roads cross rolling farmland and sugar cane, adding long lines to the edges of the map.

Why Eshowe
Eshowe suits people who grew up in Zululand, visitors who walked through the forest canopy, and anyone connected to this part of KwaZulu-Natal. The forest at its centre makes it look like no other town.
You can personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates line, including in isiZulu, and choose one of five styles: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand.
