A flight to Durban introduces you to South Africa’s cosmopolitan, seaside playground and KwaZulu-Natal’s largest city. Durban offers easy access to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites – the Drakensberg peaks and the Game Reserves of the Zulu Bushland.
Step back in time to the KwaMuhle Museum where Durban’s colonial authorities invented urban racial segregation. Fast forward to see contemporary African art at the Durban Art Gallery in City Hall.
Away from the crowds, take a day trip to Blue Lagoon Beach for the best fishing in the Durban area or see whales basking in the Mkomazi river mouth from picturesque Umkomaas.
The locals of Durban love their curries – sample the finest in the Victoria Street Market. Do try a bunny chow, a uniquely Durban dish of a half loaf of bread filled with curry. For a truly Pan-African experience, head for the hubbub of Warwick Junction and marvel at a traditional healer's panoply of cures. Meet local Zulu artists at the African Arts Centre and sample traditional Zulu cuisine at the BAT Centre down by Durban’s harbour. |
