Plan your journey from King Shaka International Airport
Durban is serviced by the King Shaka International Airport, which lies around 40km north of Durban itself. With a rental car, the city centre is easily reached in just over 30 minutes on the N2.
Although Durban is a big city, it’s easy to escape the hustle and bustle simply by driving to the beach. Bay of Plenty and Dairy beach are the ideal sandy stretches for adventurous types who want to ride the impressive waves. Families might be more suited to the relaxed Addington beach, where it’s perfectly safe for children to swim.
The Campbell Collections is the ultimate place to learn about South Africa in years gone by. This museum holds an impressive collection of documents and artefacts that relate to Zulu and Natal culture. For a museum with a difference, visit the Natal Sharks Board, an institute dedicated to studying sharks that gives fascinating audio-visual presentations.
Before you leave Durban, be sure to book a table at Mundo Vida, a coastal restaurant that serves up classic dishes with a contemporary twist. Order the seafood medley and you’ll be able to try a selection of fresh seafood from Durban’s coast.
There’s no limit to how you spend your time in Durban with the freedom to drive.
