My friend Marco and me went down to Durban to explore the things to do in Durban and some more sights in Kwazulu-Natal. As usual I tried to mix sightseeing in South Africa with some cool activities, such as the big rush, a multi day trek in the Drakensberg mountains or a Segway tour in Durban.
For doing all this we rented a car and drive through the region for about 10 days with activities booked a few weeks ahead.
You can use this guide to prepare and plan your own trip to this region, therefore I included all Spots and companies we used along the way.
All Things to do in Durban & Kwazulu-Natal as shown in this episode:
- Durban waterfront
- Helicopter ride in Durban
- Station Drive, Durban
- Segway Tour in Durban
- Township tour in KwaMashu
- Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park
- Hilltop Camp
- Drakensberg mountains
- Sentinel, Amphitheatre and Tugela Falls
- Witsieshoek Mountain Lodge

- About my Cooperation with South African Tourism-
I got invited by South African Tourism (www.dein-suedafrika.de/) to produce this video showcasing my travel experience. I was free to create my very own itinerary with all the freedom needed. Nevertheless all opinions, recommendations and views are my own.

Thank you for a true depiction of my home, Durban, KwaZulu Natal
Cannot Wait until south africa collapses and is placed back in the right hands. WWIII and civil war coming close to help cleanse the world, cannot wait.
@@ven_one SA will never collapse kid, its the most powerful country on the continent
@Musawenkosi Mathe wait until the Real Machine arrives, then we can talk again, well that all depends on how the Machine deals with you. 😉😉😉
S'tambile your are a true south african
@@ven_one Stick to 4chan m8
My hometown ❤️ proudly South African🇿🇦🤗
Beautiful Macele😍😘😗💋💋
Hi how goes? Can I give you my phone nomber for tchating?
Hey!
It’s such a beautiful country studied there for my undergrad. Durban was my fav city. Massively underrated.
South Africa is a very beautiful country. Especially Durban. Love love the weather there, too. I would love to go back there again someday :)
Durban has a spiritual heart no amount of "sightseeing" can touch. I'm so grateful for that.
I'm so proud! Born n bred in KZN
@Duncan Sands type KZN tourism in Google and all is in there. Remember, this is a third world country, public transport is decades behind. No fancy trains crisscrossing the country like in England. But with a Ford Ranger you can get anywhere. Because you are looking for Midlands activities, historical sites and tiger fishing, the ideal lodge is Jozini Tiger Fishing lodge, but for snorkeling you may need to look into Maputo along Mozambican coastal islands. Driving by yourself is unheard of and never recommended.
Been in France for 2 months and I’ve never missed my home more than I do being away, truly beautiful place🥺❤️🇿🇦 #durbsbru
why don't you come back home?
Been in France for 2 years and I am so homesick.
4 and a half years in miserable England, i`m so homesick that it actually makes me feel sick!
South Africa looks incredible
If you only referring to this video. Trust me you have seen nothing
It is beautiful and the views are amazing
Although there is crime and a lot of poverty it is a nice place
@@gloriouspotato7 that's literally every single city/state/country
Best country in the world despite some of our warts. Travelled extensively...but not found another country I'd rather live in yet.
AtomBoy oof! So true xD
Proudly south African I just miss my country
SA is beautiful
Proudly South African! Best county in the world and the most beautiful county in the world!
Oh my world.

One of the, if not THE most beautiful country in the world.

I’m 14, I was born in Durban and haven’t returned in 13 years April 1st will be the first time I go back so excited to see the family again

Beautiful place . I have recently found out that my great grandfather was from KwaZulu Natal and he settled in Malaysia almost 100 yrs ago ... He was an Indian decedent and a horseman for the British. I believed there must be some long lost family members living in KwaZulu Natal now... 🤔
One of the most beautiful city's in the world and my home town.

@@kingmufasa8929 did you have to be that negative? Durban is just beutiful, just accept it. I wonder wwhere you at?
@@kingmufasa8929 Ive been following your comments.Surely,you won't stop.There must be something very bad that you hate about South Africa so much,that's made you so miserable
@@kingmufasa8929 You funny bro if I just wonder what SA did
I am from Pakistan, I love Durban.
"DURBAN (KWAZULU NATAL) VERY, VERY, VERY BIUTIFUL. PARADISE ON EARTH.THX 4 UPLOAD".
My cousin lived in Durban (she moved to East London) and she loved it there! She visits Durban whenever she can :)
I still haven't been to Durban, but i'm going soon, real soon.

Most Beautiful country in the world
Not at the moment, only after WWIII when things are returned to the way they once were. Bring on civil war and WWIII
@@ven_one Africa is the land of the blacks. Whites don't belong there you Fool!
Ven One can you fuck off! Lol white people have no claim to anything on that continent. It’s sad how barbaric and primitive you think.
stunning scenery!
A like well deserved!! Great Job guys!
So exciting ! Thoroughly enjoyed this. Im a Durban resident and I haven’t been to many of these places 🤣

Omg such a beautiful place. 😍
Omg,I really want to visit here

You should I used to live in Durban it’s amazing
Great video! We are planning to go on hiking tour South Africa and this video really helped get a perspective. Question: how did you book the travel guides on your hiking and how much in advance do you need to book?
This is why I always tell people, you'd have to bring something very important for me to leave KwaZulu Natal
Yeah ! Very nice video guys SA rocks
Hometown! 🍀💚👆🏻💯🇩🇪🇿🇦
please don't bring your bitcoin spam here.
1985 Umfolozi Game Reserve was real old style Game Reserve saved the Rhinos from Extinction, now its larger parks - lets hope Environment can be improved around the parks as well. Brilliant places - go if you can
Enjoyed your video!
Durban is better than Johannesburg
100% it is better. Only time tourists fly into Johannesburg is to go to Kruger.
Nope
Of course! It’s coastal lol they don’t really compare.
Stop smoking alone
When you say that everyone is like no Johannesburg is better but when you say Cape Town is better everyone will agree with you
My home town😊😊Durban is the best place to be in... Born and brought up in kzn😊😊😊the beach is the best place 🏖️my hubby and my kids we love to go fishing... Yes crime is the only problem in our country.. Which is very sad.. But plz don't let that stop you from coming into our country for a visit.. Plz do visit us.. 😊😊😊
Any country has it own problem
Very good video men thank you so much for sharing this video 😁👍
Our beautiful City Durban 💛
Yebo Sawabona baba!
Every 5 days a white farmer is murdered in South Africa.... God bless the oppressed minority
@@karlkarg4713 did you really have to bring that negative energy.
@karl karg very childish
@@karlkarg4713 every few minutes a coloured and black child is murdered in townships.
@@karlkarg4713 idiot why do you think they are killed most white farmers are racist Afrikaaners and get killed by workers they have mistreated.
Nice information about tourism
