Africa's bewitching seaside playground in the sun, Durban
has from
its earliest days possessed a special charm...a certain
mystique that
adds 'something extra' to the meeting of warm Indian
Ocean,
radiant
golden sands and lush sub-tropical greenery. The creation
of Durban
Metro beckons visitors to this sublime paradise with yet
another
bonus...the addition of three invaluable elements to our
ever-
evolving, ever-widening portfolio of irresistible
attractions. To
offer the broadest possible spectrum of unforgettable
experiences,
we've brought to your holiday doorstep the magnificent
environment
and cultural wonders of the Valley of a Thousand Hills,
long and
tranquil beaches of The South and up-market ambience of
the
historic
and culturally rich Umhlanga.
Durban Metro is where the proud Zulu nation meets East and West...a wealth of influences to entertain and enthrall with traditional warrior dancers, mystic fire-walkers and colonial heritage. Sample the unique vibrancy of township life, the finest curries outside India and a calendar filled with thrilling, spectacular events.
We're sports-crazy and equipped for it...hosting countless
international contests at our magnificent venues -
including the
beach. While estate golf inland features high on the list
of courses
that abound, you can also tee off alongside the ocean or
pause on the
green as the field thunders by on race day. Speaking of
which, we
host two of our country's premier horseracing draw-
cards...but should
you not fancy their odds, there are always the slot-
machines and
gaming tables of our Sibaya Casino & Entertainment
Kingdom!
Sophisticated and cosmopolitan, Durban Metro after dark is abuzz with elegant lounges, funky taverns and cosy inns...distinctive local theatre and live music...trendy clubs, pubs and discos. Rave 'till dawn and catch sunrise over the vast Indian Ocean horizon - this is nightlife in a modern, authentic African metropolis!
From your luxury hotel, self-catering apartment or back- packers' lodge, all the delights of our 'mega-city' are linked by efficient transport services...the same network that connects you with the star attractions a little further afield. No less than two World Heritage Sites wait among the majestic Berg, teeming Bush, endless Beach and monumental Battlefields that lie within your easy reach. What a Buzz!
