Day 1
Durban
Durban meets the Indian Ocean on South Africa’s east coast, with long beaches and cosmopolitan energy. Along the Golden Mile, the beachfront promenade offers a bracing walk and views of Moses Mabhida Stadium. Try bunny chow, the city’s celebrated curry-filled bread, then browse spices and crafts at Victoria Street Market. Durban’s Zulu heritage and Indian influence give the city a character—and a cuisine—well worth exploring.
-
Day 2
Portuguese Island, Mozambique
Set in Maputo Bay, Portuguese Island lies between Maputo and Inhaca, a small, low-lying island reached by boat. White sand, shallow turquoise water and coastal scrub make it a quiet contrast to Maputo’s busy waterfront. Plan for a simple beach day, with swimming and snorkeling possible when sea conditions permit. Facilities are sparse, so carry drinking water and other essentials. Boat access depends on weather and tides; many visitors pair the stop with nearby Inhaca.
