Durban 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!
