Durban, South Africa

Durban is South Africa's Riviera. Graced with a subtropical climate, washed by the warm waters of the Mozambique Current and blessed with golden beaches, the city attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. Durban's unique mix of African, Asian and Western influences makes it South Africa's most cosmopolitan and sophisticated city.

The city boasts superb botanical gardens, excellent museums and cultural attractions that include the famed Natal Playhouse. At the heart of Durban lies the Golden Mile, a three-and a-half-mile stretch of beach lined with luxury hotels, amusement parks and popular restaurants and cafés. Durban is also your gateway to KwaZulu, the Zulu Homeland. Experience Zulu culture on a visit to a traditional kraal or watch Zulu dancers greeting you on a visit to Shakaland.
