Sho’t left to Mzansi’s playground

IF you’re thinking beach, sun and flip flops for an Easter getaway, Durban is the place you’re yearning for.

We all deserve some time out, but can’t always book that oversees trip on short notice. Luckily, you don’t have to look further than Durban. Famous for its beautiful warm beaches, Durban is rich in culture and history and is notorious for its spicy food.

Whether it’s riding the cool waves, making a splash at uShaka Marine World, or cooling off at the botanical gardens, there’s plenty to do in one of the warmest places in South Africa.

Don’t forget to visit the Indian District, KwaMuhle Museum, and Inanda Heritage Trail. The culture is live, the food is now, and the sea is fresh.

You now know where to go and what to do, but how do you get there, and where do you crash while you’re at it?

Not excited at the thought of bunking with your second cousin, twice removed? You can look up and book affordable Durban accommodation with Webjet. And if your travels plans are a little wider, you can also book cheap flights out of Durban, or anywhere really, and hire a car to boot.

With Webjet’s painless searches you could have your break-away sorted in no time. Don’t forget to bring your bicycle and join some locals for an early morning cycle on the North Beach promenade or if you’re feeling cosmopolitan you could visit the restaurants on the trendy Florida or Davenport Road.
