Why this trip
Durban lies on the Indian Ocean and at first looks like a beach destination. For a safari, the city is above all a practical base, since KwaZulu-Natal and its reserves are easy to reach from here. The PheZulu Safari Park is close by, a first contact with animals before you move on to larger areas. In the city itself, the Durban Botanic Gardens and the Umgeni River Bird Park are worth a visit for anyone who likes birdlife.
Families enjoy uShaka Marine World, and boat trips with Zulumoon Gondolas are a calm alternative. If you travel on north from Durban, you reach Hluhluwe, which is known as a protected area for rhinos. Sabi Sand and Kruger National Park are reached by flight, and Johannesburg and Addo feature as further neighbours in the plan. According to the country information, the best time for South Africa is May to September.
Durban is therefore suited as an opening or a stopover, not as the only destination. How many days you allow there is something you settle with Swiss Vibes on a video call.
