Durban is one of South Africa’s most beautiful cities, and it comes with a long list of amazing qualities. Its natural beauty happens to be one of the strongest suits, and here are three sports that you shouldn’t miss if you’re a nature lover visiting Durban.
Durban Botanic Gardens
Durban is home to Africa’s oldest surviving botanical gardens, which have been around for almost two centuries. They cover a large area of 15 hectares and come with an impressive botanical collection of plants, orchids, and trees with a lake and arboretum on the premises.
Umgeni River Bird Park
Bird lovers will feel right at home in South Africa, especially if they decide to visit Durban’s Umgeni River Bird Park. Set in lush natural surroundings, this expansive bird center is home to many exotic species that you can observe in their habitat during your visit.
Paradise Valley
One of Durban’s top natural wonders, this nature reserve in Pinetown offers an amazing escape from city life and it really lives up to its name. Its stunning waterfall is its main draw, but Paradise Valley is also worth the visit for its lush vegetation and walking trails.
