About Durban Metro
Durban is where most KwaZulu-Natal journeys start — a subtropical port city with eight kilometres of promenade, the biggest aquarium in Africa, and a food culture built by Zulu, Indian and colonial history colliding for a century and a half. It is warm all year, it is flat, and it is genuinely easy to travel with children.
