Discover Durban
Situated on the eastern seaboard of Africa, Durban is a coastal city built around one of the busiest ports in Africa. Enjoying a year-round subtropical climate, Durban is known as ‘the warmest place to be’ in South Africa and boasts near perfect beach weather almost every day.
Loved for its seemingly endless stretches of sun kissed beaches, the city is a natural paradise for all surf and sea enthusiasts. Going beyond the beautiful beaches, Durban has a lot more to offer in terms of diverse culture, history, scenery, as well as a state of the art football stadium and world class shopping malls. A little further afield, there are numerous Big Five game reserves, and the mighty Drakensberg mountains, just a few hours’ drive away.
For your return journey, fly back to Durban with Airlink and connect beyond to other local and regional business or leisure destinations.
