Ulundi was at one time the capital of Zululand in South Africa, and later the capital of the Bantustan of KwaZulu. It is now a part of KwaZulu-Natal Province and takes turns being the capital with Pietermaritzburg.

The parliament buildings are located here. There is an airport, a five-star hotel, and some museums.

It was the site of the king Cetshwayo's kraal, razed to the ground in the final battle of the Anglo-Zulu War. Nearby is Ondini, the site of king Mpande's kraal, Cetshwayo's father.
