Is Durban safe for women?
Durban is safe within the tourist zones only and would be much better if you had a tour guide. Nevertheless it is a beautiful place with many surrounding nature and safari parks. It’s situated on a coastline
Posted: December 26, 2024Durban is a warm & sunny city that has so many incredible wits about it. Many people are friendly and are so happy to help! Be mindful of pickpocketing. Be mindful of not taking public transport, rather take an Uber and share you trip with someone. Nights out are best done alongside people, know your surroundings well and you’ll have the best time!
