Durban City Tour
On a very wet and dark day, I picked up my group of 5 clients and we headed into Durban City for a short tour, before we made our way to the Valley of 1000 Hills.

A Day Out in the City of Durban
What’s There To Do?
Every now and again I get a call from visitors to our fabulous city about what there is to do in a day. I also get the same call from friends who had lived in the city their entire lives (shame on you!). So I’ve decided to to finally get round to posting what I’m hoping will be the “ultimate list of awesome things to do in Durban in a day!“.
Durban’s “Golden Mile”
History
Captain Allen Francis Gardiner… pt4
Capt. Allen Francis Gardiner
Not much more is heard from Gardiner during the rest of his stay in Port Natal. Not long after his self-imposed exile into the bush, Dingane attacked a Boer deportation causing an uproar in Durban which in turn lead to a panicked evacuation onto a coasting vessel (the Comet) in the bay, which included Gardiner. Gardiner was never to return to Durban after the vessel sailed away on 11th May 1838, most hands were against him and the Zulu’s had destroyed his mission stations in Berea and Tongaat.
