🇿🇦 [Durban] South Africa's Garden Paradise

Nestled along the Indian Ocean, Durban is the largest port in sub-Saharan Africa and the heartland of the Zulu people. The region, KwaZulu-Natal, blends its Zulu roots ("Place of the Zulu") with Portuguese history ("Natal" meaning Christmas). With its mild climate and lush landscapes, it’s no wonder this is called South Africa’s "Garden Province" 🌿🌊. 🏙️ The Soul of eThekwini (Durban’s Zulu name, meaning "the port") 📸 The bustling Durban Harbour – where ships meet the skyline. 🏛️ Old House Museum – a preserved Victorian-era settler home (free entry + WiFi!). ⚖️ KwaMuhle Museum – a sobering reminder of apartheid’s "pass laws" for Black workers. Tip: Both museums are government-run, free, and quick to explore—but take an Uber; the old town isn’t walker-friendly. 🚗💨 ⚽ Iconic Landmarks 📸 The 2010 World Cup Stadium + Umhlanga’s charming lighthouse. 🍹 Nearby, the historic Oyster Box Hotel offers sunset cocktails with ocean views from its terrace bar. 🍸🌅 #SouthAfrica #DurbanDiaries #AfricanPort #TravelDeep #ZuluCulture
