A trip to Durban is your chance to get to know South Africa’s third largest city, a fun and upbeat gem that often gets overshadowed by its two more famous siblings, Cape Town and Johannesburg. Drenched in culture and history, holidays in Durban are a great way to experience the unique mix of influences that have shaped South Africa as we know it today, all packed into a lush, sub-tropical setting.

Excellent trip for the family. Some long traveling days, but the travel enabled us to explore & experience the amazing scenery & wildlife South Africa has to offer. Great trip and an excellent guide. (Wern).

It was a great trip with fantastic game viewing and knowledgeable guides. The accommodation was unique & comfortable, but Rhino lodge at Kosi bay was the poorest -the rooms etc were lovely but there was a decidedly run down aspect to the site and the dinning room service was notable lacking -2-3hr wait after ordering but the food when it came was fine -very understaffed and pushed, not helped by sharing facilities with an inebriated wedding group. Wernan the guide was competent, knowledgeable and did all he could to facilitate the experience -including re driving thro the mountains so we could see Gods Window etc as our first journey was thro thick fog etc with no visibility. Great trip, especially for the kids.

Kruger, Swaziland, Mozambique, St Lucia, Zululand (JoBurg-Durban)

First solo trip for me, but the tour group staff (and guests for that matter) were excellent - the travelling times whilst long, were well worth it - our tour guide Tshepo and driver Cosmas made the trip effortless with good organisation, clear communication and always timely starts/finishes - the information provided at each location, picture opportunities given, fun activities, good food and basically everything else, made this my favourite trip to date - will defo be doing another Africa tour with the tour operator

Exceeded expectations! South Africa.

The travel specialist was given a huge challenge to arrange a 5 week holiday for us in South Africa with some very specific places we wanted to visit. It was prepared to listen to our demands and also to advise on many things that we were unsure about. We stayed in 14 different places all together and the accommodation arranged for us was perfect. The car hire was also arranged for us and our itinerary planned in detail with maps and detailed driving instructions given. Essentially, for a long complicated holiday we did not experience any problems and the agency obviously played a key role in this with their prior arrangements. This allowed us to focus on enjoying the whole holiday, which is one of the best we have ever had! Thank you, travel expert!

The beach aspects of the tour were underwhelming. Highlights were Tshukudu game reserve (5 star experience) and st Lucia town. Snorkeling at Kosi bay totally underwhelming. Guide was energetic ++, and had the difficult job of balancing younger children with our teenage family. We felt some activities were cut short at times. It often seemed a rush to get to the destination rather than to enjoy the journey. I wonder that the recommended age for this trip should be 10+ - the days are long, and some early starts

Durban – Tour Highlights and Travel Tips

Tour Highlights

  • uShaka Marine World is a vast, 5-part aquatic theme park that features water rides, world-class aquarium, shopping area and much more. You will find it nestled between the beachfront and the harbor.
  • The oldest public green space in Africa, Durban Botanical Garden is a quiet urban oasis that spans 37 acres of lush vegetation. This serene spot is ideal to have a picnic or simply unwind in the gorgeous natural surroundings.
  • Nestled at the heart of Durban’s Golden Mile, North Beach is the city’s most popular getaway. This gorgeous stretch of shimmery sand is especially popular among surfers and water sports enthusiasts.
  • Durban is home to the largest population of Indians outside of India. This is why the vibrant Indian Quarter in one of the must-visit areas while in town. Here, you will have an opportunity to pick up beautifully adorned fabric, aromatic spices or dazzling jewelry.

Travel Tips

  • To acquaint yourself with dark and injustice-ridden history of Durban and South Africa, head over to the KwaMuhle Museum. Walking through its exhibitions, you will be able to gain a deeper understanding of what life looked in the city during the apartheid.
  • Durban lies in the subtropical belt, which means the summers (that last from December to March) tend to be hot, but rainy and muggy. If you want to experience more moderate temperatures and dry weather, opt to visit the city in the winter months, from June to August.
  • If you are a fan of sports, make sure to catch a game rugby while in town. Durban’s home team, the Sharks, are regarded as one of the best rugby clubs in South Africa.
