Durban
is a multicultural City shaped by a complex history involving the early colonial settlers, the indigenous Zulu population and the Indian community.
Zulu’s comprise the biggest ethnic group with large populations of British and Indian.
Established in 1849, Durban’s botanical gardens are the oldest surviving garden in Africa. Wear comfortable shoes as it is a large area to cover. Beautifully set out with cycad, palms and orchid collections.
Back in 1860 Indians arrived as indentured labourers, bringing with them their rich historical and religious culture. A visit to the Indian market with its colourful spices and art is not to be missed.
Recently revitalised, the beachfront promenade is a favourite spot for all manner of sports.
