The Mvoti River is a river in the KwaZulu-Natal region of South Africa.[1][2]

The Mvoti estuary (29°24′S 32°20′E / 29.400°S 32.333°E / -29.400; 32.333) is situated north of the coastal city of Durban. The river is approximately 197 km long with a catchment area of 2829 sq. km.[3]

The river is named after headman Mvoti Ncashange, of the L'la clan (the people of rest), who settled on the banks of this river.[4]
