Overlooking the Durban Harbour and the Natal Royal Yacht club and set just off the Victoria Embankment, Wilson’s Wharf offers the sightseer a cross section of diverse choices; from a browsers market consisting of numerous stalls selling anything from arts and crafts to souvenirs of Durban and KwaZulu-Natal to fully licensed upmarket restaurants boasting exotic seafood menus. Wilson’s Wharf should be on every visitor to Durban’s must see list.

Whether one sits and sips a cocktail on one of the sun drenched wooden decks at one of the many restaurants taking in the atmosphere of a balmy, breezy typical Durban day or soaking up the romantic atmosphere of the evening ambience with soft background music interspersed by the night sounds of the sea; Wilson’s Wharf guarantees a memorable experience.

Durban now boasts one of the most striking and sophisticated pieces of infrastructure in the world - the spectacular Moses Mabhida Stadium, which has redefined Durban’s skyline with a unique landmark that equals the Eiffel Tower, London Eye, or Golden Gate Bridge in prominence its also regarded as the most atractive stadium in South Africa.

The lead up to the 2010 FIFA World Cup saw vast improvements being made to infrastructure in Durban, including extensive upgrades on the city’s network of roads, the complete overhaul of the Beachfront promenade, and the building of Umhlanga’s spectacular pier, which was designed in part by the Engineering  department at Durban University of Technology. The new King Shaka airport, which has been in the pipeline since the 1960’s, is now open and fully operational, allowing the world’s largest passenger aircraft, the A380, to bring tourists, businesspeople and locals directly to this fantastic city.

In 2010 and moving forward into the future, Durban is a city full of optimism for industry and commerce on an unprecedented scale. It is also home to a unique and eclectic mix of people, and a laid back ambience that somehow does not contradict the bustling commercial life of the city and its surroundings.

Best regards
