Durban, South Africa

Why Walk Durban

KwaZulu-Natal's largest city is South Africa's most culturally diverse metropolis, home to the largest Indian diaspora community in Africa. Walking the Golden Mile — a six-kilometer beachfront promenade — is a Durban institution, with surfers, swimmers, and joggers sharing the warm Indian Ocean coastline. The Indian Quarter around Dr Yusuf Dadoo Street is a sensory explosion of spice shops, sari stores, and some of the best curry outside of India. The Victoria Street Market continues the theme with its aromatic labyrinth. The Moses Mabhida Stadium, with its iconic arch, and the restored Point Waterfront area add modern flair to this seaside city.
