Sub-tropical Durban manages to combine the business of being one of the 10 largest ports in the world with the laidback vibe that comes with being South Africa’s favourite holiday destination.
Stroll the Umhlanga Rocks beachfront walkway and watch dolphins surfing in the waves, see more creatures from the undersea world at the uShaka Marine World theme park which has one of biggest aquariums in the world.
Durban is also a vibrant cultural centre, with African crafts to cutting-edge fashion.
Not only is the city itself fascinating with its Zulu and Indian street hawkers, traditional healers and reminders of the time when it made its fortune from sugar, but there are kilometres of gorgeous beaches and superb game parks close by.
Visit Phezulu in the Valley of a Thousand Hills to encounter traditional Zulu life or take a township tour for an insight into modern African lifestyles.
