Durban is the busiest port in South Africa and home to the largest community of Indians in the country. Enjoy the curry, relish the beaches along the famed Golden Mile and soak up the Zulu culture!
Golden Mile: As you can imagine, Durban has some pretty fantastic beaches. The Golden Mile includes the beaches near the city centre that border the Indian Ocean. The surfing is excellent here but watch out for sharks.
