Forest Hills is a quiet working class suburb in the Outer West suburbs of Durban, Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa. The area borders on the Kloof Gorge which forms part of the Kranskloof Nature Reserve, and is situated in between Kloof and Waterfall which is also about 7 km from hillcrest. Forest Hills is referred to as being part of the Kloof area as they are both situated on opposite sides of the Kloof Gorge, as a result the areas are joined by one road (bridle road) which runs through the Kloof Gorge.
Usually being a very quiet and calm area, but in late 2008 the area was struck by a tornado which came as a very big shock to nearby residents as well as to the South African Weather Service.
