Partly cloudy. Mild.

Stretching along a swathe of butter-yellow sand, Durban, South Africa's third-largest city (known as eThekweni in Zulu), has long been one of the country's great escapes, offering a lively, if slightly tacky, pre-packaged seaside experience on the very doorstep of KwaZulu-Natal's teeming metropolitan hub.
Traditionally the silly-season stomping ground of white tourists from Johannesburg (Jo'burg) and Pretoria, 21st-century Durban now caters to a more cosmopolitan market, with visitors of all creeds and colors living it up along the city?s seafront esplanade.
Mountain Splendor - The Kingdom of Lesotho
Travel from Durban through the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands and enter the Kingdom of Lesotho via the Sani Pass. Visit a Sotho Village and interact with the locals of this neighborhood, and lunch while enjoying incredible views of the pass.
Hluhluwe Game Reserve Safari
From USD $190.48
Spend the day on seeing the "Big Five" at the magical Hluhluwe Imfolozi Game Reserve on the north coast of KwaZulu-Natal. Located in the heart of Zululand, this well managed reserve is home to 84 animal species.
Suggested Itineraries: Durban
Come here for the sunshine and you will probably leave thinking that Durban is little more than the sum of its beaches - which wouldn't be unreasonable. With more than 6km of warm-water beaches (protected by the requisite shark nets), Durban's 'Golden Mile' is the city's undisputed pièce de résistance.
The affluent and altogether more sedate suburbs of Berea, Morningside and Greyville are chock-a-block with bars, eateries and chattering, upper-echelon Durbanites, while the city center, peppered with some grandiose colonial buildings, throbs to a distinctly African beat.
