Durban

Get to know Durban

The cultural cocktail of South Africa, Durban is home to a prolific Indian influence; distinct wafts of cardamom and cinnamon punctuate the air in surrounding marketplaces. To the north lies the picturesque Valley of 1000 Hills, meandering ridges along the Umgeni River-bank that feeds into the Indian Ocean. A buzzing hive of energy, Durban’s crowning jewel is the pristine beachfront where locals groove to pulsating beats of homegrown Gqom dance music.
