Durban has warm sea water all year and a long beachfront promenade known as the Golden Mile, busy with surfers, joggers and families. uShaka Marine World combines an aquarium with a water park.

The city has one of the largest Indian communities outside India, so curry is a local speciality, best tried as a bunny chow. The Victoria Street Market and Juma Masjid are in the old centre.

Durban is a gateway to the Drakensberg mountains and the game reserves of KwaZulu Natal. Winters, May to September, are mild and dry.
