Tourist Guide Durban:

The bustling metropolis of Durban (also known as the Gateway to Africa) is the second most populous city in South Africa. Situated on the tips of the blue-watered Indian Ocean and flanked by the sprawling Drakensberg mountains, Durban is the busiest port in South Africa, and one of the 10 largest ports in the world.

Durban is commonly referred to as the ‘perfect holiday paradise’ because of its mild climate all year round. The average temperature in summer reaches 25°C–30°C, with moderate high humidity. The port city counts approximately 320 days of sunshine in a year, promoting dense sub-tropical vegetation.

The city has a population of 3.2 million people, of which almost one million are Indians having historical roots tracing back to their forefathers who were brought to the province to work in the sugarcane fields.

Great people, great climate and lots to do if you know were to go. Umhalanga and Balito is beautiful but the south coast is also very lovley. There are lots of huge shopping centers and yet also lots of out door activities not to mention the awesome warm beaches.

Guest House Owners are very flexable with their prices. You can usually barter for a good price for a long stay. However if you are a regular guest ask about their loyalty program. Recomend a friend to stay or post a comment.

The City has a lot to offer in terms of culture and diversity. The beaches are clean and enjoyable for the whole family. There is the odd incident of crime however, so being careful is advisable.
