Why this trip
Warm Indian Ocean, promenade and surfers in the morning: Durban is the seaside city in South Africa where women can rest for a few days before the safari calls. The subtropical location makes the winter here milder than in the south of the country. In the Botanic Gardens, the oldest in Africa, orchids and palms grow, and birds live there in a park of their own on the Umgeni River. For the more active there is uShaka Marine World with a snorkelling lagoon, and the Moses Mabhida Stadium offers a panoramic view from above.
In the evening, beach restaurants invite you to a meal in a big group. Durban is suited as a starting point for Hluhluwe, the rhino reserve, and for the connection to Johannesburg or Sabi Sand. The travel window runs from May to September. Note that driving is on the left if you hire a car.
Hotels such as the Southern Sun Elangeni & Maharani are in the data. How many nights you stay in Durban is something you decide yourself on the video call with Swiss Vibes.
