Travel to Durban

Durban’s famous beachfront — the Golden Mile — is a popular holiday destination. Stylish hotels line the promenade enjoying spectacular ocean views, while theme parks, uShaka Marine World, a skate park, a surfing museum and the Suncoast Casino and Entertainment World provide additional attractions.
