Description

Day 1: Border to Beachside Begin your adventure at dawn with a pickup from your Eswatini hotel. Head toward the scenic Lavumisa (Golela) border post. As you cross into South Africa, enjoy lush landscapes transforming into the rolling hills and sugarcane fields of KwaZulu-Natal. Along the way, stop for a coffee and soak in the unspoiled countryside. Your first sightseeing highlight is the iconic Moses Mabhida Stadium, host to the thrilling FIFA World Cup 2010. Gaze up at its soaring arch, capture dramatic photos, or opt for a heart-pounding ride on the SkyCar to the top—ideal for panoramic coastal views. After exploring the area, proceed to your Durban hotel to check in and unwind. An afternoon beach stroll awaits—feel the warm ocean breeze, sink your toes into golden sand, and sip refreshments at beachfront cafes. As evening falls, relax in your hotel or explore the nearby promenade—the perfect way to ease into the rhythms of Durban. Day 2: City Sights & Oceanside Excitement After a generous buffet breakfast, set off aboard a hop-on, hop-off sightseeing bus. Over three hours, tour Durban’s major landmarks: colonial-era buildings, the bustling Victoria Street Market, the Grand Parade City Hall, and the Indian Quarter with its aromatic spice trails. Stop for pictures and brief explorations to absorb the city’s timeless charm and cultural layers. Next up is uShaka Marine World—Durban’s crown jewel of marine entertainment. Delve into Sea World to watch dolphins dance in the water and seals perform playful antics—spectacular and interactive. Enjoy lunch at one of the park’s oceanfront eateries (at own expense), choosing from seafood platters, casual grills, or treating yourself to ice cream by the shore. After an exciting afternoon, head back to your hotel to rest, reminisce, or perhaps sample Durban’s famous bunny chow at a local restaurant. Day 3: Coastal Cruise & Return to Eswatini The final morning begins with breakfast before setting off to explore Durban’s harbor. At Wilsons Wharf, prepare for a delightful one-hour boat cruise along the majestic Indian Ocean waters. The journey offers close-up views of luxury cruise liners, working cargo vessels, and—if you’re lucky—an MSC cruise ship docking at the impressive Nelson Mandela Cruise Terminal. This seafaring experience provides a relaxed perspective of Durban’s strategic maritime landscape—peaceful yet bustling with sea traffic. After your cruise, return we drive back to Eswatini. Arrive with memories of sun, sea, and culture—perfectly curated for those seeking coastal elegance in a short timeframe.
