Favorite thing: It was my first time heading to the coast, I was very very exited and fascinated by the view. I spent only 1 day in Durban and most of the time was spent on the beach swimming.That's the only activity i was looking to experience and I am glad i did.
Fondest memory: Ofcourse I miss the beach on a warm sunny day...i will love to go back again.

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.

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.

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!

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.
