Durban’s warmth lies in the heart of its people. Visit Durban and immerse yourself in the culture, the vibe, and a township experience like no other. Townships are the cultural soul of South Africa and no trip to Durban would be complete without a visit to one of the many bustling townships.

Visit the Inanda Heritage Route, which has a rich history. It starts at the home of Mahatma Gandhi, with the next stop at the Ohlange Institute where the late former President Nelson Mandela cast his first democratic vote. The Institute honours the founder of the African National Congress, Dr. Langalibalele Dube.

Venture through uMlazi to experience the heartbeat of the township through one of its many tours. You can rub shoulders with locals at the popular shisanyama Max’s Lifestyle, which was voted one of the best 207 restaurants in the world by Condé Nast Traveller in 2016.

Each township in Durban has a unique history that is worth exploring, with an array of shisanyamas. Explore the buzzing streets of Clermont-KwaDabeka, KwaMashu, Hammarsdale or Lamontville, where you’re guaranteed a vibrant cultural journey that is sure to both fascinate and entertain.
