About Durban
Durban is South Africa's second largest city, a multi-cultural hub situated around a busy port on the shores of the Indian Ocean. Renowned for its warm and sunny climate, its magnificent swimming beaches, bordered by five star hotels and luxury apartments, and excellent sports facilities, it is a premier tourist destination that attracts four million visitors a year. The beachfront, often referred to as the "Golden Mile", offers safe all-year-round bathing and ocean sports, with top hotels, restaurants, shops and bars in close proximity.

The Central Business District, a hive of activity, is within easy reach of all hotels and convention venues. If however, you wish to travel further afield, there is a very competent public transport system running throughout Durban, as well as an abundance of taxis. Its strategic location on the eastern seaboard, the port facility, international airport and an excellent road network ensures that Durban serves as the natural gateway to the Zulu Kingdom and to southern Africa.

Thriving business and shopping districts have spread out from the city centre to the scenic La Lucia Ridge overlooking Umhlanga Rocks, and westwards to Kloof and Hillcrest.

The people of Durban are drawn from diverse cultural backgrounds. Strong Eastern, Western and African influences are visible everywhere - in the architecture, the cuisine, the music, fashion, and in the local patois which blends a seemingly impossible mix of English, Zulu, Afrikaans and Indian languages.

Climate
Durban is famed for its mild, sunny winter climate and year-round "fun-in-the-water" weather. Durban is blessed with an abundance of vegetation and a subtropical climate with sunshine for at least 320 days a year. Temperatures range from 16°C and 25°C during the winter months of June, July and August. Summer temperatures can reach 32°C with relatively high humidity during the hot season.

Durban owes these characteristics to the equatorial current of the Indian Ocean which is the source of a vast stream of warm, blue water flowing south-west through the Mozambique Channel.

Seawater temperatures along the coast compare more favourably with those of the Mediterranean in summer (75°F mean) (24°C), but in winter they seldom fall below 66°F (19°C) - 10° warmer than the Mediterranean in the same season.
