Durban City

In Durban, we have a favorable climate even in Winter so plenty of Sun and of course the Sea (Indian ocean). Ushaka Marine world on South beach is another attraction to our great city in close proximity to the beautiful Durban waterfront canals.

Durban had always been used as a trade port between Europe, Africa, and Asia. In the past years Ivory and Spices were the big traders but today it is Cars, Sugar, Fruit, and other raw materials.

As a holiday destination, Durban is one of the best places.

Experience Durban through the eyes of a local. View the historical monuments and statues showing our heritage, and embrace the hustle and bustle of the street markets in the City center along the beachfront. Visit the Inanda heritage route, Ghandi Settlement to learn more about our unique rich Indian history and taste a local lunchtime delicacy, the “bunny chow”.

We set off from the Berea, learning about Durban’s origins and take in the skyline from our favourite lookout points. Visit the Botanical gardens housing a rich history of Trees and plants from all over the world yet encompassing our history. Drive by the Jameson and Mitchell’s park, the vibrant Florida road the hub of our Durban nightlife! Visit the Moses Mabhida stadium and if operational take a sky lift to the roof of the stadium for magnificent views over all the major points the city has to offer. Pass or stop along the gorgeous Durban beachfront with informal markets along the Golden Mile all the way down to the Durban waterfront Canals. Enjoy a 30-minute Gondola ride on the Canals.
