Durban Itineraries

Safari Packages

Durban is more than just the city with its natural harbour, busy port and Golden Mile of impressive international hotels and glorious beaches - regarded as the definitive coastal ‘playground in the sun’. 
Durban extends up to Umhlanga Rocks to the North, to Inchanga and Botha’s Hill in the west, and just beyond Yellowood Park in the South. 
Durban Metro offers a diverse and interesting collection of things to do and attractions in and around the third largest city in South Africa, with a climate that arguably places it in top position for all year-round accessibility. 
The outdoors is a major focus and Durban Metro not only boasts the warm Indian Ocean and various water-focused theme parks, like uShaka Marine World, it also functions as the gateway to two World Heritage sites – the Ukhahlamba Drakensberg Park and the Greater St Lucia Wetlands Park. 
Just beyond its boundaries, Durban Metro boasts the beautiful Dolphin Coast, and the historical Battlefields, whilst closer to home are the Valley of a Thousand Hills, the Kranzkloof Nature Reserve, and the little towns of Kloof and Hillcrest.

Day 1: Relax along the Golden Mile
While the city's cultural milieu offers all sorts of enriching destinations, such as the famed Indian market selling pungent "Durban curry," you're probably here for fun in the sun. Welcome to the Golden Mile, actually six kilometers (four miles) of wide beaches, touristy piers,  restaurants and attractions that range from the Suncoast Casino, with shopping at the Gateway shopping comples, gambling, and a private beach; to one of the world's largest marine parks, uShaka Marine World, with dolphin shows, 32 tanks, and Africa's highest waterslide. There's no end to the smaller attractions in between, not the least of which is world-class surfing. Grab a "Zulu rickshaw" and enjoy.

Day 2: Enjoy Local Culture
Of course, Durban has plenty of urban offerings, including a surfing museum at North Beach, and first-rate football (soccer) at striking Moses Mabhida Stadium. But the real cultural attractions lie outside the city's sprawl. Just up the KwaZulu-Natal coast is the birthplace of Shaka Zulu, where a huge kraal (rural village) still honors the legendary Zulu king. Book an eight-hour tour into Zululand that visits a traditional kraal, where you'll sample the local cuisine, including homemade beer. Or, climb to the mountaintop Kingdom of Lesotho, on a 13-hour tour through independent villages and past sweeping vistas over peaks and waterfalls.

Day 3: Get out into the Wild
Durban itself is home to its own wildlife attractions, including the vast aquariums at aforementioned uShaka Marine World, and fabulous Umgeni River Bird Park, overlooking the river. Set into beautiful, shady gardens, this enormous aviary is home to some 300 bird species, and offers low-key shows and other family fun.
