Description
Our tour of Durban, a bustling metropolis, often called the cultural ‘melting pot’ of South Africa, includes a drive through the sports corridor with its impressive sporting facilities to the Blue Lagoon area on the Umgeni River where you get a panoramic view of the whole bay of Durban. Then past the so-called Apartheid Beaches, the Marine Parade (Golden Mile) where you will see the rickshaws, en route to the impressive developments at the new Point Waterfront area. We drive past the busiest harbour in Africa and various historical monuments, and then through the city centre where the original Railway Station building, the City Hall and the Post Office buildings each have a story to tell. We stop at the Indian Market where you get a glimpse into the Indian culture and bargain for souvenirs and spices. Our last visit is to the Botanical Gardens with its extensive collection of trees and plants from all over the world, as well as a famous cycad collection and orchid garden.

Operator response
HI Simon. I am Zamani Shelembe. I was your tour guide and owner of Afro Zulu Tours Durban. 1 .Thank you for the review and traveling with us. At Afro Zulu Tours we pride our self with excellent Service ALL the time. But seeing you comments here means. We did not hit the mark with you. Agenda Tours are flexible and we do not just change progem of the tour. we communicate to the client of any changes at the start of a tour and I did with you Victoria Market This is a shopping are and usually dont need to be accompanied but a Guide. Unless we have language problem. Botanical gardens This is always done at the end of our Tour. And we did do it. But after all said and done. I appologize for the way you feel. It is always our priority to meet and exceed your expectations. And share our Country/Province/City with you as out Guest. Zamani Afro Źulu Tours 0027 720118249
