Discover Durban from the inside out on this immersive cultural experience led by passionate locals who live and breathe the city.
Begin your day with a gentle stroll through Africa’s oldest surviving Botanical Gardens alongside a knowledgeable horticulturist, uncovering the history, hidden stories, and remarkable plant collections that make this green oasis so special.
Next, enjoy a deeply personal cultural encounter at Phansi Museum, where you’ll meet the legendary Mama Nkosi — the “dancing curator” — who shares powerful insights into indigenous beliefs, traditional art, and tribal heritage.
Midday, take time for lunch (own expense) and sample Durban’s most iconic flavours — including the famous bunny chow, a must-try local favourite.
In the afternoon, step into the vibrant energy of the Markets of Warwick (Victoria Street Market area), the beating heart of informal trade in Durban. Meet local traders, learn about their crafts, and gain a deeper understanding of the city’s multicultural identity.
As the day unfolds, enjoy a guided drive through Durban’s city centre while your guide brings the streets to life with fascinating stories, historical context, and local perspectives.
This is not a typical sightseeing tour — it’s a people-to-people experience designed to connect you with the real Durban.
