Durban - the Balmy, Holiday City South Africa's favourite
playground and the busiest port in Africa, Durban began life as a remote
trading outpost. Today the sunny city is a popular year-round holiday
destination, prized for its balmy climate and superb surfing and swimming
beaches. Although shopping, restaurants and nightlife are geared for the
holidaymaker, Durban is also now positioning itself as the conference capital
of South Africa - with its International Conference Centre ranking amongst the
top facilities in the world.
Still, this subtropical city is synonymous
with the ocean. UShaka, the southern hemisphere's greatest marine theme park,
was recently opened and is a major attraction for tourists to the city. But if
you'd like to get really personal with marine life, The Natal Sharks Board runs
weekday boat tours for visitors to watch shark nets being cleared, as well as
dolphin- and whale-watching trips on weekends. The annual winter sardine run is
another marine spectacle, attracting visitors from across the
globe.
Shopping is high on Durban's list of priorities and there's
plenty to choose from. The Gateway Theatre of Shopping offers a grand
combination of shopping and entertainment, and is the jewel of Durban's retail
crown. The Pavilion also offers an exceptional shopping experience in a
Victorian-look building, and The Workshop complex was created in the shell of
Durban's original railway workshop. For a taste of real Durban, there's the
Victoria Street Market, offering African and Indian wares. The Warwick Avenue
Triangle is where herbalists and street vendors sell anything from traditional
medicines and food to Zulu artwork, and Grey Street is a fabric buyer's
Mecca.
No visit to this sunshine city is complete without exploring the
Golden Mile. This beachfront stretch is where you can catch a rickshaw ride,
buy a curio or enjoy a seafood or typical Indian meal with a view of the sea.
Durban is heaven for hedonists, where all year is holiday season.
Don't
miss: UShaka - the 16ha marine theme park. Whale-, dolphin- and shark-watching.
Tasting bunny chow and many other Indian-flavoured dishes. Great seafood along
the Golden Mile. Deep-sea fishing for game fish. The curious mix of Africa
meets India in food, music and culture.
