Legend has it that Shaka, king of the zulus, named Amanzimtoti in 1828, when he drank from the river and found the water was sweet. Amanzi = water and mtoti = sweet. Mnandi is the word for sweet in zulu, but Shaka's mother's name was was Nandi, and he didn't want to wear out her name, so he made up a "mtoti" for sweet.
The Oasis waterworld provides paddle boat rides on the Amnizimtoti lagoon.
Through the Transkei

Up early again, cos everyone's itching to get through the Transkei. When
the bikes start revving, you know you'd better hurry, or you could be left
behind....
