    It depends on the nature of your visit in Durban:

    If its for a holiday then:

    Don't swim at the main beaches as they are polluted, rather go to the neighboring towns.

    Be alert at the Marine Parade or anywhere in the city for that matter for crime and don't carry expensive goods around like cameras, watches, jewelry etc.

    If its for business, well then, i hope you trade well.

    Enjoy your visit.

    If you are going on business, don’t wonder too far from your hotel alone at night. South Africa is a beautiful country all around, but plagued with crime, like many other countries in the world.

    Enjoy beautiful sunshine days.

    There’s plenty about South Africa and Durban in the web site, or you can just go into Google and punch Durban South Africa, you will find an array of info about the city and the country.

    Durban is actually all about the beach. It is home to South Africa's only surfing museum, and is one of the most surf-friendly cities in the world.

    Although Durban's tourism numbers wobbled over the Easter weekend, it seems the issue of faecal contamination of the beaches had not yet affected the industry.

    Four of Durban's six main beaches had their "Blue Flag" status withdrawn last week. Blue Flag is an international programme, originating in Denmark, which in effect certifies beaches that comply with 14 health, safety and comfort criteria, including water quality. Blah,blha, blha. only if you are scared of contracting skin disease.
