South Africa
A 3-day trip to Durban
Durban is South Africa's beach and surf — the Indian Ocean coast, a curry culture, and the gateway to the Drakensberg.
Durban is South Africa's subtropical coast city — the warm Indian Ocean, surf beaches (the birthplace of South African surfing), and the largest Indian community outside India (eat a bunny chow). Use it as the gateway to the Drakensberg mountains and the Garden Route. It's the laid-back, beachy alternative to Cape Town.
