DURBAN CAR HIRE REVIEWS
Car hire reviews in Durban
South Africa's third-biggest metropolis, Durban is a leading destination with a wide range of tourist attractions for all tastes. Vibrant, multi-cultural and home to Africa’s largest port, the city is blessed with many fine beaches and a temperate subtropical climate all year round. Known locally as the Golden Mile, Durban’s long, sandy seafront gives visitors the chance to bask in the South African sunshine and bathe in the warm, clear waters of the Indian Ocean. Nestling on the fertile slopes of Berea Hill, a short drive north-west of the city centre, Durban's Botanic Gardens are the oldest attraction of their kind in the whole of Africa. Landscaped midway through the 19th century, it is several gardens in one with a large collection of indigenous and exotic plants, plus some unique features such as the Orchid House, Sunken Garden, Lake Area and Cycad Collection. The largest in the southern hemisphere, Durban's fascinating Indian Quarter is a great place to pick up souvenirs and sample some of the best gastronomy in the city. Don't miss the amazing Umgeni River Bird Park with over two hundred species of birds (some of which are the only representatives of their kind in Africa), nor the uShaka Marine World, one of the world's best water-based theme parks. With a car hire in Durban you can visit the Valley of 1,000 Hills on the old road between Durban and Pietermaritzburg to soak up some of the most scenic views in the Durban area before dropping in on a typical Zulu village.
