HIGHLIGHTS
Itinerary:
Your half-day adventure begins with a scenic drive along Durban's Golden Mile. Lying along the azure Indian Ocean coastline where Portuguese explorers first landed in 1497, the city of Durban is a vibrant mix of seaside charm, cosmopolitan living, diverse cultures, and thriving industry.
Holding pride of place is the Golden Mile, the city’s famous beachfront promenade where you can walk the length of Durban’s beaches while stopping at sidewalk restaurants, boutique shops and ethnic markets. The pulse of the city starts at the Port that also plays an integral role in the country’s economy. Handling the largest volume of sea-going traffic in southern Africa, it is ideally placed on major shipping routes with excellent rail and road links. Durban also holds much Indian heritage and the largest mosque in Africa, as well as being awash with aromatic spice markets and many opportunities to buy well priced souvenirs.
Visit to the Durban Botanical Gardens. These fascinating gardens are the oldest on the African continent and display a selection of both indigenous and exotic plant collections from the sub- tropics. There is also a unique selection of trees from all over the globe with many of them over 100 years old. The main collections consist of cycads and palms, both threatened species, as well as orchids and bromeliads. There are many different areas to explore in this large garden and visitors can choose to stroll through the indigenous forest, Japanese garden, herb garden, garden of senses and more. Marvel at the beauty of the over 8 000 orchid plants that bloom in a riot of colours or explore the oldest cycad collection in the world. A tea garden is available for a refreshment break.
Next, enjoy a shopping experience at the Victoria Street Market, where you can explore traditional artwork, spices, and handmade crafts. Finish your excursion with a relaxing visit to the botanical gardens, an ideal spot to appreciate local flora and unwind. A perfect way to experience Durban through culture, shopping, and nature.
