Durban

Durban is a lively city with a warm coastal atmosphere. It is known for its good food spots found in unexpected places, offering a different experience compared to Johannesburg. You can enjoy a mix of flavors, from Indian curries to fresh seafood, making it a great place for food lovers. The cost of living is lower than in some bigger cities, but public transportation may not be very extensive, so having your own car can make it easier to explore. Safety can be a concern in some areas, so it's best to stay aware and stick to busier places, especially at night. Durban has a lot of culture, with nice beaches and attractions like uShaka Marine World. You should also experience the local customs and the friendly nature of the people—talking with a local can be rewarding! If you plan to visit, check out neighborhoods like Umhlanga and Glenwood for a taste of everyday life. Just remember to bring some cash for those great little eateries!
