About Durban
The city is of a size that is best explored by car with free and easy access on its road system. The major sights are found along ‘The Golden Mile’ to where in the height of summer, everyone gravitates to swim in the sea or just relax on the beach. The active can find many different water sports to participate in there including swimming, surfing, water-skiing and diving. Shark nets have been installed to protect people in the sea from attack. If you’re still concerned about the sharks but want to surf, you can ride the waves on the Gateway Shopping Centre’s artificial reef.

In the city, the Botanical Gardens are a relaxing way to spend an afternoon and not just for the flowers. Many couples choose to have their wedding ceremonies there and it’s unusual to visit on a day without there being a big celebration underway.

Out of town, a recommended visit is to Crocodile Creek. You’ll need a whole day there to do it properly but in an area of swampland, the owners have created a haven and research centre for seven thousand crocodiles and related species. You can handle baby crocs, go on aerial walks over the crocodile’s habitat or simply learn about them in the informative exhibition. There are plenty of excellent facilities there too so you can make a day of the experience. Finally, visit the Mahatma Gandhi settlement where he and his followers meditated over the best approaches to freeing India from British rule.

Port Elizabeth is approximately 900km south west and Richards Bay 180km north east of Durban.
