What to do in Durban?

Durban is a city on the east coast of South Africa, in the province of KwaZulu-Natal. As South Africa's third-largest city, you will find plenty to see and do in Durban, making it the ideal destination for a unique and memorable holiday.

Durban attracts visitors for its subtropical climate, its mix of African, Indian and colonial influences, plus its golden beaches and food. It's often considered to be the most relaxed city in South Africa, boasting trendy bars and restaurants, cool cafes made from shipping containers, artisanal bakeries and plenty of nightlife. The Indian quarter is especially good for dining out, where you'll also find lots of art deco architecture alongside traditional mosques.

Durban's warm waters (thanks to its coast on the Indian Ocean) make it a great destination for swimming and surfing without the need for a wetsuit (unlike on South Africa's southern coast). Top surfing hotspot South Beach, on the ''Golden Mile'' is where you'll find most of the surfers catching some waves. Addington Beach is the best beach if you're visiting with younger kids, where they can splash about in the waves and try some bodyboarding.

Don't miss the chance of some sightseeing while you're here from historical buildings such as the Neo-Baroque City Hall in Francis Farewell Square to the Kwa Muhle Museum. The Old Court House where a young Mahatma Gandhi practised law, is also found in Durban and worth a visit.

Types of HolidayTaxis transfer vehicles
March 31, 2023

At HolidayTaxis, we recognize that every traveler is different and may have their own preferences and requirements for their airport transfers. To accommodate this, we offer a diverse range of transfer vehicles for our customers to choose from, each with its own set of benefits and advantages.

For example, if you're traveling in a large group, our minibus or shared airport shuttle transfers might be the best option for you, as they can comfortably accommodate a larger number of passengers and their luggage. On the other hand, if you're traveling with just one or two companions, a private car may be more suitable for you as they offer a more intimate and personalised experience.
