With its golden beaches that stretch for miles and days filled with sun and relaxation to the bustling city's night-life, Durban is known as: "The city where the fun never sets."    During holiday seasons, people from all over Southern Africa flock to Durban and it's surrounding areas for their vacations.

The extremey picturesque harbour creates a photogenic place for meandering or eating and drinking at the dockside. Durban's second-largest population group, Indians, arrived here in the nineteenth century. They add yet another cultural twist to the country's demographics and their impact on the city is reflected by mosques, bazaars and temples festooned with wild colours.

The "Golden Mile" is a stretch of golden sand that endures as  Durban's main attraction. Here holiday makers indulge in swimming, sunbathing and other water sports. Luxury hotels, markets and amusement parks are found along the beachfront.

When visiting, be sure to add a little spice to your life by exploring the Indian area around Grey Street, or passing by the Dalton Road Zulu Market. 

For many travelers Durban provides a  springboard for the KwaZulu-Natal game parks, the Drakensberg and the Battlefields. Durban is well connected to the rest of South Africa by air and through intercity buses and trains. International  flights regularly touch down here.
