| Durban,
KwaZulu Natal: |
Bustling Durban is the hub of the
province’s business and industry and pulses with all the energy of a major port city.
Luxury hotels abound on Durban’s beachfront, and this city is often referred to as
South Africa’s Miami Beach.
Durban is one of the fastest-growing urban areas in the world. Its port is the busiest in
South Africa and also one of the 10 largest in the world. Durban is blessed with balmy
weather all year round, making it a perfect holiday paradise. The beachfront is bordered
by five star hotels and luxury apartments, all of which have an idyllic view of the Indian
Ocean.
The Durban Central Business District, a hive of activity, is within easy reach of all
hotels and convention venues. If however, you wish to travel further afield, there is a
very competent public transport system running throughout Durban, as well as an abundance
of taxis.
Durban is a major gateway to Africa and is also the largest and busiest port city on the
continent. Due to this, there is an extensive road network leading to and from any
destination in South Africa. Durban International Airport, is only a 10 minute drive from
the City and is serviced daily by domestic flights, as well as international flights. The
International Convention Centre, centrally located, is an innovative, world class
convention centre which can cater for conferences of up to 5000 people.
Durban is a sporting paradise. The sunny climate combined with a wealth of facilities
makes for a year round sporting extravaganza. Watersports such as surfing, body boarding,
sailing and scuba diving are obvious favourites given Durban's proximity to the warm
Indian Ocean. Rugby, soccer and cricket are also very popular with Durban boasting world
class stadia.
Durban Beaches:
Durban's beaches are characterised by soft, golden sands, palm trees and the warm waters
of the Indian Ocean. The main beaches are shark netted and patrolled from sunrise to
sunset by trained lifeguards who have an impressive track record in beach safety. The main
beaches also have change and shower facilities as well as an array of restaurants and
bars.
Those who crave seclusion can find many remote beaches along the coast which are not
patrolled. Durban’s beaches stretch in a long line from Addington Beach to Country
Club Beach. Facilities include changing rooms, fast-food outlets, shark nets and
lifesavers. The Bay of Plenty is especially popular among surfers. Even in winter, the sea
temperature rarely drops below 17º C
Valley of 1000 Hills:
The Valley of 1000 Hills Route is one of KwaZulu Natal's best kept secrets. The Valley of
a 1000 Hills forms around the majestic valley created by the Mngeni River and it's
tributaries. Many artists and crafters have been attracted to the beauty and tranquility
of this area which is dotted with cozy guest lodges, friendly pubs and tea gardens with
sweeping views over the hills and dams.
The main attractions on the 1000 Hills Experience are the dramatic landscape and Zulu
culture which is well interpreted at three cultural villages. The 1000 Hills Choo Choo
offers steam train trips from Kloof station to Cato Ridge on weekends and the more
adventurous can view the stunning scenery from the skies. Microlight flips are organised
from Cato Ridge Airfield.
There are also boat cruises on Shongweni, Nagle and Inanda Dams and visitors can spend a
day on a guided fishing trip or escorted 4 wheel drives through the Valley Floor.
