Day 84

Durban, South Africa

The largest city in South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal province, Durban’s Zulu name translates into “bay.” Durban is graced with stately Victorian touches, from the old Town Hall to the tree-lined Esplanade. The waterfront promenade invites leisurely strolls kissed by Indian Ocean breezes. The Durban Botanic Gardens are Africa’s oldest, founded by British colonialists in 1849 as an extension of England’s Kew Gardens. Durban is home to the largest Indian population outside India, infusing the city with a rich Hindu spirit and curry aromas.
