Durban, the largest city in KwaZulu-Natal and the second largest city in South Africa, is recognised as the busiest port in Africa. A year-round vacation destination due to the many safe swimming beaches with the warm Mozambique current flowing down its coastline and the city's warm subtropical climate, Durban is a major centre of tourism with surfing, angling and boating being prevalent on the list of activities. There is a great deal for the entire family to see and do along the famous Golden Mile which stretches along between the beachfront and the city, and do not miss uShaka Marine World oceanarium and amusement park.

Durban is also a prosperous industrial centre for shipbuilding and ship repairing, fishing, automobile assembly and the manufacture of food products, sugar refining, petroleum refining, paint, chemicals, fertilizers, soap, footwear and textiles. When it comes to accommodation, you'll find something that suites you and your budget from hostels & homestays, to luxury hotels and resorts, so there really is no reason not to come and explore this lush green sub-tropical city with its significantly Indian flavour. Population for the city of Durban is around 3,120,340
