Durban is one of the touristic area in our tours packages to South Africa. Durban is one of South Africa finest seaside cities with a warm sub-tropical climate all year. Durban is a mix of colonial style, modern cosmopolitan city, having some of South Africa most impressive cultural diversity and history of the Zulus tribe and its Indian population. Here you can take a rickshaw ride along Golden Mile waterfront, visit the Victoria Market, the impressive Shaka Zulu Marine World, craft markets and great beaches for surfing. Half an hour drive from Durban, the Valley of a Thousand Hills offers an African Culture experience, while further into the countryside the Midlands Meander features many art and craft outlets for those interested in hand-made gifts. Adventure activities are well catered for in and around this coastal city, with deep-sea fishing charters, dolphin viewing, jet skiing, shark cage diving, quad biking, scuba diving, hiking, mountain biking, canoeing, boat cruises and much more.
