The South African province of KwaZulu Natal was formed in 1994. Before 1994 this area was made up of the province of Natal and of various areas that made up the homeland of KwaZulu. Located in the southeast of South Africa, KwaZulu Natal borders three other provinces as well as Mozambique, Swaziland, and Lesotho, along with a long shoreline on the Indian Ocean.
Because of the diverse and complex topography of KwaZulu Natal, the province has a varied climate.
