People don't visit Durban to 'relax'. They go there to 'chill, bro'. This city by the sea is South Africa's third largest and one of the most popular playgrounds for holidaymakers in the southern hemisphere. Its clean sandy beaches, warm water and subtropical climate allows for excellent swimming, surfing, sunbathing and fishing and the numerous beachfront hotels, restaurants and thriving nightspots make this metropolis in the Garden Province of KwaZulu-Natal the ideal place to... well, chill. In Durban east meets west. The city has one of the largest Indian populations in South Africa and you will not find a better curry anywhere! Enjoy fine and traditional dining, live entertainment and shopping in vibrant, scenic surroundings. Or make a bee-line for the Golden Mile, a popular stretch of 6km along the sandy Indian Ocean shoreline where sun-seekers, paddle-skiers, surfers and swimmers hang out. If it's peace and beauty you're after, head off to the Bluff Nature Reserve, the Botanical Gardens or the Kranzkloof Nature Reserve. The uShaka Marine World, one of the country's leading marine research centres, houses an aquarium - one of the largest in the world - and the largest dolphinarium in Africa. For exhilarating fun hit the Wet 'n Wild freshwater entertainment centre with its awesome rides.
