Favorite thing: At you Ushaka Marine World you have 2 options. One is to go to the Marine World and the other is to go to Wild N Wet. When you go to the Marine World you get a list of activities which you can go watch as well which includes the Dolphin and Seal Show and Penguin feeding which is really cool.

Strand_Man 9 reviews

Favorite thing: Go watch rugby & join in the party after. Nothing but nothing comes close to the vibe at a game. Win or loose they party after - big time. Find a local pub not the tourist stuff. Have a Indian curry - not at a big name hotel. Go inland to the Valley of a 1000 hills. Visit the smaller town within 50Km. Wear Sunscreen.

Fondest memory: The great times had at the 1st Keg in Florida Rd
Rugby - Natal whiping Northerns with Naas in the team
Diving and trying to catch crays around Toti.

DURBAN

Favorite thing: Durban has a wide variety of entertainment for the whole family. Entertainment ranges from movies, nightclubs and a variety of sporting activities. Treat your family to a day out, either in Durban or in the Valley of 1000 Hills. Take them to the cinema, ten pin bowling, or see a theatre production ... It's great fun for the whole family!

RAINBOW CITY
PEE-WEE profile photo

4.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

PEE-WEE 810 reviews

Favorite thing: Once one of the holiday capitals of South Africa, Durban lies between the sunny beaches of the South Coast and the game parks of Zululand.
Host to the Mr Price surf competition and home of your archetypal blond surfer, itýs a real rainbow city where myriad cultures meet.
Visit Grey Street and the Indian Market for a taste of Indian culture far removed from Big Mac territory. Here street hawkers sell anything from fake Rolex watches to diced carrots. Grab a bunny chow, a few chilli bites and a packet of slap chips.

THE DRAKENSBERG

3.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

PEE-WEE 810 reviews

Favorite thing: Spending time in the Drakensberg is like plugging into a throbbing Soul Rejuvenator. Itýs uplifting, energising, relaxing and exactly what everyone needs more of. Unless of course youýre spiritually dead. And even then, itýll do you good.

You gotta try a "Bunny Chow"

A Bunny Chow from Durban

Favorite thing: For a cheap, yet filling "meal" you have got to try a "Bunny Chow" when in Durban.

Probably not everybodies cup of tea, but we love it! Perfect tucker after a heavy night on the town.

There is a little dodgy looking take-out in the Overport area, known as Johnnys, that makes the best "Bunnies" in town.

Basically a Bunny Chow, is a choice of curry (lamb, beef. mutton, beans, prawn, vegetable .... you name it) in a quarter , half or whole loaf of bread.

All they do is slice a loaf of bread in half, scoop out the bread, then put the choice of curry into the part that has jsut been scooped out. After this they put the scooped out bits on top again, which absorbs all the juices.

All that remains is to eat it. These are really delicious!

Biltong

Biltong hanging up to dry out

Favorite thing: Biltong is basically dried meat and is something I remember from my childhood in Zimbabwe. Back then, we only had beef but now there is a whole range of different meats and flavours - beef, game, ostrich, kudu, chilli.

Personally, I still prefer beef but it's worth trying the other types to see which you like the most. If you get hooked on it, it is possible to buy your own biltong maker.
