“Immerse yourself in Durban's rich tapestry: Gandhi's House, the iconic Moses Mabhida Stadium, Victoria Street Market spices, Botanical Gardens, and the legendary Golden Mile beachfront.
About This Experience
Uncover the beating heart of Durban on this captivating full-day exploration. Begin at the historic Phoenix Settlement — where Mahatma Gandhi first developed his philosophy of peaceful resistance. Journey through Inanda Township, a living testament to South Africa's liberation struggle, before immersing yourself in the aromatic chaos of Victoria Street Market. Ascend the Moses Mabhida Stadium's Sky Car for breathtaking 360-degree panoramas stretching from the Drakensberg to the Indian Ocean. Wander through Africa's oldest botanical gardens, then take a nostalgic Sky Car ride along the beachfront. Explore the vibrant uShaka Village Walk and delve into Durban's complex history at the KwaMuhle Museum. Cap off your day with a stroll past the magnificent City Hall and the bustling harbour — a perfect introduction to this subtropical jewel.
