THINGS TO SEE AND DO IN DURBAN
Golden Mile
The Golden Mile is the epitomy of the vibrant essence of Durban's beachfront, stretching along the waters of the Indian Ocean. Spanning approximately six kilometres, this famous promenade offers you a mix of sun, sand and leisure. You can lay in the sunshine year-round or stroll along the palm-fringed pathways, taking in the panoramic views of the sparkling ocean.
Victoria Street Market
Victoria Street Market is a vibrant cultural hub nestled in the heart of Durban, filled with the sights, sounds, and flavours of Africa. This bustling marketplace, steeped in history and tradition, offers a sensory feast for visitors from around the globe.
Durban Botanical Gardens
A visit to Africa’s oldest surviving botanical garden is a must. This garden was established in 1849 and is home to many endemic plant species, including orchids, cycads and palms.. Wander along the winding pathways shaded by towering trees, marvel at the vibrant colours of all the exotic blooms and relax by the ponds and fountains.
Try the Famous Bunny Chow
Bunny Chow is a beloved South African culinary delight. Originating from the Indian community in Durban, this unique dish consists of a hollowed-out loaf of bread filled with flavourful curry, typically made with chicken, lamb, or vegetables.
