About This Experience
Durban is South Africa's most culturally diverse city — home to the largest Indian diaspora outside India. This walking tour plunges you into the sensory explosion of Durban's famous markets. Start at the Early Morning Market with its fresh produce and flower stalls. Navigate the Indian Market (Warwick Triangle) for spices, fabrics, and street food. Visit the traditional Muti (medicine) market where sangomas have traded for generations. Sample bunny chow — Durban's iconic street food — and taste authentic South Indian curry at a hidden gem restaurant.
