Introducing Durban City Center
The South African coastal city of Durban in the KwaZulu-Natal province is known as the mecca for holiday-makers. It is a large city with a subtropical climate and its port plays a major role in the South African ecomomy and trading. Durban has a superb beach front with its sandy beaches and warm currents of the Indian Ocean.
It is perfectly situated for exploring the scenic and varied coastline, to the South as far as Port Edward and to the North to the St Lucia Wetland and up to Kosi Bay. Many game and nature reserves are within easy reach as well as the awesome rugged escarpment of the Drakensberg. Durban is home to the largest concentration of people of Indian descent, who arrived in 1860, brought in as contract labourers to work on the sugar plantations, and many beautiful mosques and richly decorated temples can be seen. Durban produces most of South Africa’s sugar. Furthermore, it has the largest and busiest harbour.
In 1497, on Christmas day, Vasco da Gama is said to have anchored in the bay and named it “Rio de Natal”, the Christmas River. Later on sailors’ maps, the name “Natal” was given to the land that lay beyond the wide beaches and forested dunes along the coast.
In 1835 the small town with a mission station was renamed D’Urban after the governor of the Cape Colony. The former trading post is, today, the holiday capital of KwaZulu-Natal.
