Durban is a sophisticated cosmopolitan city of over three million people which has just about everything for the leisure visitor: a balmy, subtropical climate, splendid beaches, a warm sea, internationally renowned surfing waves, excellent hotels and restaurants, glittering shopping malls, lively theatres, Casino, museums, sporting venues, lush green parks and gardens and much more, making it one of South Africa's premier holiday destinations. It is also home to Africa's largest and busiest port; a place where east meets west, pulsating with the rhythms of Africa.
With the freedom of your car hire many Durban attractions will be just moments away - from the uShaka Marine World to the casino at the Gateway shopping mall and not to be forgotten the Marine Parade along the beach front with many attractions and activities, drawing both young and old, known as the 'Golden Mile' - maybe hitch a ride on an original Zulu Rickshaw. The beaches of Durban are lapped by the warm Indian Ocean inviting a perfect day on the beach.
Durban is famous for its iconic Zulu Rickshaw pullers once navigating throughout the city. These colourful characters are famous for their giant, vibrant hats and costumes. Although they have been a mode of transportation since the early 1900's, they mostly cater to tourists today and can be found at the Marine Parade.
For Durban accommodation we would recommend the Umhlanga Rocks area just 20km north of the town centre with golden beaches and somewhat more peacefull than the bustling harbour city. With your car hire you are not restricted to any particular area and can choose from lavish and luxurious hotels or economical Guest House accommodation to back-packing on a budget; Durban accommodates every taste.
When in Durban it is advisable to hire a car as many destinations are not easily accessible by public transport.
We suggest - Collect your Durban car hire at the International Airport on arrival and set off on your adventurous holiday. From Durban you can travel north up through the greater St Lucia Wetlands, inland to the Kingdom of the Zulus, further north into Swaziland, though authorisation to cross the border of Swaziland with your car hire must be obtained. Traverse eastwards through the battle fields to the peace and tranquillity of the Drakensburg mountain resorts. The battle fields will be of interest to some as three different wars were fought in the Natal Midlands around Dundee - The Boer settlers & Zulus - the British & Zulus - and the Boer War which included the likes of Winston Churchill and Mahatma Gandi, both to become future Prime Ministers. You can also traverse through Swaziland and into the Kruger National Park.
Great times spent in and around Durban will not be forgotten.
