Durban, located on South Africa’s eastern coast, is a vibrant city known for its golden beaches, warm Indian Ocean waters, and rich cultural diversity. Beyond its bustling beachfront, Durban serves as a gateway to unforgettable wildlife experiences. Visitors can enjoy nearby safaris in private game reserves, spotting the Big Five, or take a scenic boat cruise on the St. Lucia Estuary to see hippos and crocodiles in their natural habitat. Many programs also offer volunteering opportunities in wildlife conservation, marine rescue, and community development. For those seeking a cultural adventure, day trips to the Kingdom of Eswatini (formerly Swaziland) provide a unique glimpse into traditional African life. Fun fact: Durban is home to the largest Indian population outside of India, which adds to its vibrant food and cultural scene.
