Durban is one of the most dynamic South African cities and a prime tourist destination due to its subtropical climate, vibrant community and golden beaches, as well as its proximity to a number of marine resorts and game reserves.

Regardless of whether you are a nature lover or history enthusiast, for sheer variety there is probably very little which beats a trip from Cape Town to Durban via the famous Garden Route. The scenery is amazing and there are ample opportunities to enjoy splendid beaches along the way (such as at Jeffrey's Bay, which is a renowned site for surfers) and also to take in natural indigenous forests. Indeed, one of the highlights of any such trip must be the Tsitsikamma and Storm's River region of the Eastern Cape.
