Why this trip

The Indian Ocean is warm in Durban, and the city in KwaZulu-Natal makes use of it: the beachfront promenade, the Golden Mile, is a terrain for runners, cyclists and surfers. May to September are the months with clear air, mild weather and a calmer sea. uShaka Marine World offers an aquarium and snorkelling pools, and the Moses Mabhida Stadium attracts with an arch that you can climb or swing from. The Botanic Gardens are a quiet place for a morning walk.

PheZulu Safari Park lies in the hinterland and takes you into landscapes where Zulu culture and nature meet. The sea is not cleared for swimming everywhere here, and shark nets are part of coastal safety. Pay attention to flags and notices from the lifeguards before you go into the water, and ask about the current situation at the beach you want when taking surf lessons. Hluhluwe with its game reserve lies nearby as a neighbour, as do Johannesburg and Sabi Sand further away.

Durban therefore serves as a start for a tour along the coast and into the bushveld. In the video call you decide how many days by the sea and how many in the reserve you wish for.
