Tour Highlights:

Port of Durban – Gateway to the World

Durban’s port is the beating heart of the city and one of the busiest in Africa.

More than just an economic hub, it’s steeped in history. It was here that Vasco da Gama is believed to have named the region “Natal” in the late 15th century, in reference to the birth of Christ.

Today, the port remains a crucial link in global trade and offers a fascinating glimpse into Durban’s maritime heritage.

The Golden Mile – Durban’s Iconic Beachfront Promenade

The Golden Mile is a must-see for any visitor. With endless golden beaches and the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, Durban is a year-round beach paradise.

Visitors can relax, surf, swim, fish, or simply enjoy the vibrant atmosphere along the bustling promenade.

KwaMuhle Museum – A Window into Durban’s Past

The KwaMuhle Museum offers powerful insight into Durban’s apartheid-era history.

Once home to the notorious “Native Affairs” department, the building now serves as a thought-provoking museum featuring informative exhibitions and evocative sculptures, giving voice to the stories of the city’s past.

Victoria Street Market – A Feast for the Senses

A visit to Victoria Street Market is a true highlight.

As Durban’s oldest market, it showcases the city’s rich cultural influences.

Colorful fabrics, exotic spices, fresh meat, traditional jewelry, and African herbal remedies fill the air with sights, scents, and sounds – perfect for picking up authentic souvenirs.

Durban Botanical Gardens – A Natural Oasis in the City

Established in 1849, the Durban Botanical Gardens are the oldest in Africa and a treasure for nature lovers.

Meandering paths invite visitors to take a peaceful stroll through this lush oasis.
