Be aware of the dangers and always be on high alert of chancers and individuals who are always on the prowl to check your bag or belongs. If the proper precautions are not taken, you may get mugged or threatened at gunpoint. It is important to always lock your car and be alert at robots. Try your utmost best to live by the beachfront as that is where majority of the recreation is taking place. There is plenty more in Durban than just the beach but also museums, a harbour and an amusement park.

Durban is one of South Africa’s beautiful holiday destinations, it has a lot to offer: the beaches – Surfers will enjoy this activity, the Museum for all the history you need to know, uShaka Marine World has amazing wildlife and water parks for children, not forgetting the great diverse foods; Indian spices will take you to Indian farms where it was harvested, the Zulu home made meals, we have to offer will leave you wanting more.

It is a great holiday destination which I now call home. The atmosphere is great and the people here are bubbly and kind. The best places to see or visit are the beach, Ushaka Marine World and King Shangan Museum. The Indian spicy food is a delicacy that should never be missed by any visitor.
