Things to do in Durban

cundall

Hi..

I am going with work to Durban, SA next Friday for 2 weeks and i will have nights / mornings plus weekends off (nights / days changing most days)...

Should have some spare time but not days on end... Does anyone have any things i must do while i am in Durban?

Thanks

Oooh. Only spend a few days there, so i'm sure someone can offer more than me, but...

Umhlanga Rocks (sp?) - we thought it was a bit like the South African version of Blackpool (but hotter!) - nice little beach resort, with shark nets (!) and small surf (boogie board fun!).

Bunny Chow - Must eat.

If you manage to put a couple of days off in a row, then try these (google for more info):

Drakensburg Mountains - stunning scenary, great walks, some wonderful national park accommodation with your own braii's. My own SA highlight.

Umfolozi-Hulhule (sp?!) - great national park, we saw the big 5, choose well and you can stay in some amazing places. Not many tourists. We drove it on a few hours from Durban.

St Lucia Wetlands - stunning beaches, wilderness, empty, beautiful, got it into my mind that I was permanently going to be Great White bait though! (Saw plenty of smaller sharks when diving - it has the worlds most Southernly coral reefs - which is actually a bit rubbish).
