Description

Durban is the 3rd biggest city in South Africa with a good mix of the Zulu tribe as well as having the biggest population of Indians outside of India. With this mixture of people comes a great cultural infusion from Zulu traditional meals to Indian curry meals and an infusion of both influences like the very famous chakalaka salad which can be used as exhibit A of how well these 2 cultures complement each other. On this tour we get to taste a bunny chow, move around the city in the very famous Durban mini buses to get the full local experience, we visit the market and finish up with some street food and a drumming experience which is optional for people who want to immerse themselves in the Zulu culture.

Short, but very insightful experience in Durban city with Geekay as the friendly, knowledgeable guide

This was a spur of the moment booking and it certainly exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Geekay, went above and beyond to accommodate us by allowing us to go into the museum. Because of this detour, we couldn't go to the Indian market, however, this means that we will have to go back someday to Durban to explore more of this multicultural city. Absolutely amazing!

No one around

Guide did not show up. Called us after we left said he was on his way. We had already left and felt uncomfortable with the whole situation
