Most trips to South Africa include stops in Cape Town Johannesburg Kruger and a few places along The Garden Route. Durban South Africa's third largest city rarely makes the list and this is a very good reason to visit. The comparative lack of tourism means Durban has a much more authentic feel than other South African cities giving you a chance to experience a bit of the real South Africa. Making it one of the best places in Africa to visit.
But aside from a lack of other tourists there are plenty of great reasons to visit one of the best cities in Africa like year-round warm weather long sandy beaches and its incredibly friendly people. There's also the food which has been heavily influenced by its large Indian population and has a very different feel to the food in other parts of the country. One of the most famous dishes and a must-try while you're in South Africa is Bunny Chow – a bread loaf that's hollowed out and filled with curry. If you want to try Bunny Chow in South Africa this is definitely the place to do so.
It's only a matter of time before Durban is officially 'discovered' and it becomes the next must-visit destination but if you visit in 2019 you can get there before all that happens.
