What to see in Durban

Durban, known for its tropical climate, extensive shorelines and cultural diversity, is a paradise for travellers seeking a mix of leisure and adventure. The city’s port, one of the busiest in South Africa, serves as a gateway to a plethora of attractions.

An architectural masterpiece and sports enthusiasts’ dream, Moses Mabhida Stadium is less than a 15-minute drive from Durban’s port. This iconic arena, named after a famous South African politician, is not just for football fans, it’s a multipurpose venue providing an array of activities that appeal to everyone. The SkyCar ride to the top of the stadium’s arch offers panoramic views of Durban, making it a popular attraction. If you’re an adrenaline junkie, Big Rush Big Swing, the world’s tallest swing as recognised by the Guinness Book of World Records, allows you to leap into the void over the pitch and swing across the stadium, which is an absolute thrill.

Established in 1849, the Durban Botanic Gardens is the oldest surviving botanical garden in Africa and Durban’s oldest public institution. A mere 10-minute drive from the port, this verdant sanctuary spans several hectares and offers a lush landscape of both indigenous and exotic plant collections, notable African palm species and cycads. The gardens host the Orchid House, a stunning array of these delicate blooms; the Garden of the Surviving Weeds, which showcases plants that thrive in urban environments and the Sunken Garden, perfect for quiet reflection. Not to be missed are the impressive collections of bromeliads and ferns, displayed in their natural habitats.

Extending from South Beach to the Suncoast Casino and Entertainment World, the Golden Mile is a renowned stretch of beachfront that exemplifies Durban’s natural beauty and vibrant urban life. It’s easily accessible from the port and offers a multitude of activities. Surfers and swimmers flock to the Golden Mile’s inviting Indian Ocean waters, while joggers, cyclists and skateboarders make good use of its wide, paved promenade. The sandy beaches are perfect for sunbathers and those wishing to construct elaborate sandcastles. For adventure enthusiasts, there are numerous operators offering activities ranging from jet-skiing and deep-sea fishing to snorkelling and scuba diving.
