Durban Holidays

Discover Vibrant

Coastal Flavour in KwaZulu-Natal

Step into Durban’s energetic embrace, a city where warm beaches, diverse cultures, and urban buzz create a unique South African rhythm. Stroll along the Golden Mile promenade, feel the sun and salt on your skin, and immerse yourself in Durban’s captivating mix of flavours, sights, and sounds. With so much to explore, Durban holidays are the perfect starting point for your KwaZulu-Natal adventure.
 

As the gateway to KwaZulu-Natal and the largest port city on the African continent, Durban boasts lush subtropical vegetation and is bordered by the warm Indian Ocean. The city enjoys a balmy tropical climate, especially in winter when the rest of South Africa experiences cooler conditions. While Durban retains its historical grandeur, some areas could benefit from refurbishment.

A holiday in Durban offers an eclectic mix of colonial European, Zulu, and Indian influences, the latter being the largest Indian community outside Asia. The Durban promenade is a focal point where you can experience traditional Zulu and African dancing, rickshaw pullers in brightly coloured attire, and bustling markets filled with spices and incense. Often referred to as South Africa’s Miami Beach, the beachfront is vibrant and lively. The sunny climate and extensive facilities make it a watersports paradise.
