Excursion Durban coastal and high tea tour at Durban

After departing the quayside, follow the palm tree-lined Victoria Embankment towards the city centre.

Pass by the Juma Mosque, which is reputedly the largest in the Southern Hemisphere and is famous for its massive golden dome and turrets. Continue past the Old Market Square, representing the City Hall in Belfast and serves as Durban's municipal offices. Glimpse the Natural History Museum and Post Office before continuing past the Old Inland Revenue Building and Reserve Bank.

Stop briefly at Currie Hill to take in the panoramic views of the City.

You will drive north up the coast to Ballito, a small holiday town located 40 kilometres north of Durban, that was originally a Sugar Cane Farm. Dolphins are common on this stretch of the North Coast shoreline known as the Dolphin Coast.

From here, you drive to Umhlanga Rocks. Situated just north of the vibrant Port City of Durban on the warm waters of the Indian Ocean,

Umhlanga has the best South African accommodation, up-market Office Parks and first world Shopping Centres. The golden sandy beaches stretch northwards for more than 200 kilometres, all the way to the spectacular Greater St Lucia Wetland Park, A World Heritage Site. Inland from Umhlanga, endless fields of sugarcane give way to the tumbling area of the 1000 Hills, the massive Inanda Dam and mystical hidden valleys of Zululand.

Enjoy High Tea at one of Umhlanga's upmarket hotels.

Return to the quayside in Durban.
