For an educational experience go and visit the Natal Sharks Board. Here you can watch as a shark found in the nets is dissected to try and learn more about its diet and behaviour. Watch a short presentation on the study of sharks and how scientists have discovered and are improving on ways to keep bathers safe in our warm waters. You will also be able to peruse through the exhibition the Sharks Board have to teach you even more about the predators of the sea.
The twenty or so registered rickshaw pullers in the city of Durban are well known for their splendid head gear decorated with beads and many other decorations. An excellent way to get around, experience the fresh air and feel like a genuine Zulu ruler and it is a breathtaking way to see the “Golden Mile”, the 6 kilometers of the city of Durban’s Beachfront.
The largest shopping center in Africa as well as the largest in the Southern Hemisphere, Gateway Theatre of Shopping also known as the pride of Umhlanga, has so much to offer that everyone from young to old will always be kept busy and entertained.

There are over 350 stores in Gateway, some uniquely South African designer shops and some franchises all ranging from affordable to the more exclusive outer and inner wear. It is very difficult not to find what you are looking for whether for yourself, loved ones or even your colleagues.
Durban has always been considered the most laid back city in South Africa. Although behind the scenes there is a machine at work. Durban harbour is the busiest port in Southern Africa. This fact should not discourage holiday makers, as Durban knows how to have fun. It boasts original, world class surfing and bathing beaches, several five star hotels and restaurants and the nightlife is on par with the best the world has to offer. The greatest fact though for the vacationer is that it knows how to have fun.
There are several activities to keep you entertained in Umhlanga Durban & the South Coast on holiday.
