The metropolis of Durban is an exciting, subtropical city on the shores of the warm Indian Ocean. It's the second largest city in South Africa. A bustling fusion of African, European and Asian culture, Durban’s all-year-round temperate weather and cosmopolitan atmosphere make this an ideal holiday destination.
The Durban harbour, once a natural lagoon, is the busiest cargo port in the country, and the tenth largest port in the world. Durban is also the industrial gateway to Africa and is certainly the industrial centre of KwaZulu-Natal, manufacturing a variety of goods.
