MikeAtSea Says: The small centre which is situated along the Granada Drive offers a number of shops, two malls and a few restaurants. Since the city had been built before the boom it is at times difficult to find parking here.

City Lodge Umhlanga Ridge: Great Location

Ronan House Bed & Breakfast: Absolute Luxury
Artemistica Says: My company booked us into Ronan House since the City Lodge was fully booked. I've never been so glad to get the 'second choice' in my life! Just one look at their website made it clear that we were in for something special, and we were not disappointed. In fact our room...
Cabana Beach Resort: A nice tropical resort
WoodyWoodpecker Says: The Cabana Beach is situated right at the beach and most rooms offer a great ocean view.While the building is rather oversized (about 20 storeys in a terassed layout), the good thing is that you wont see much of it when you're inside.All rooms offer kitchen facilities and...
Gateway to India: Gateway to Disappointment
Artemistica Says: If only the restaurant put half as much effort into the food as its decor, we would have been much happier customers. Since we had heard that the Durban area had such a large Indian community, we had assumed that pretty much any Indian restaurant would be good. We were...
Ile Maurice: One of the best in Durban

Helpfulness
The current of the Indian Ocean can be quiet tricky at times hence only swim at protected beaches and between the flags in the watch full eyes of the life guards. Those are the beaches that also have shark nets.
Also swimming during the night can be dangerous since the waters of the Indian Ocean are the home to the Great White and Zambezi Sharks - creatures who you do not want to meet in person!

Jenniflower Says: Luggage with wheels is always a good idea, wherever you are travelling. Some ideas:Light coloured clothing that doesnt absorb the sun as much as dark clothing. If you're going on safari, pack comfortable walking shoes and khaki, brown or beige casual clothes.Long-sleeved...
MikeAtSea Says: South Africa has a very unique plug system as you can see on the picture. Adapters are available in many shops including some supermarkets. My recommendation is that you by your adapters when you are in the country.
