The city of Durban lies on the Indian Ocean Coast of South Africa, and is the capital city of the Kwa Zulu Natal province of the country. Boasting excellent weather throughout the year, Durban is South Africa's premier beach destination, and also a city with a rich, and diverse culture all of its own, where you can shop in a super mall in the morning, picking up the latest designer bargains, spend the afternoon relaxing or surfing on North Beach, then wander through some spellbinding temples and mosques before eating dinner in one of the many top class restaurants that the city boasts in the evening, or grab a snack, and head to one of the lively bars and clubs on the waterfront to dance the night away with other travellers from all over the world.
The most cosmopolitan city in South Africa is a place with a unique mix of peoples, bringing influences from all over the world: China, India and South America, and combining them with the traditional Zulu culture of the region to create an intriguing blend, that when mixed with the spectacular countryside and beaches making up the area that surrounds the city, Durban is without a doubt a truly exceptional destination.
There are good value flight offers to Durban throughout the year and at certain low season times, seats can be as little as half price. When you couple this with the low price of accommodation, and eating out when you are there, Durban becomes a destination that is often more affordable than you would think.
