Durban - Post Report Question and Answers

If you move here, you can leave behind your:

Your left-hand drive car. South Africans drive on the left side of the road, and the steering wheel is on the right side. If you haven't done this before, it's easy to adjust to and takes about one day. Some might say you should leave your puffy coat behind! However, if there is one day every year when you might want it (plus if you visit the Drakensbergs) you'll want it! If you surf, leave your board behind and get a new one here. There are surf board shapers scattered all over Durban and it's easy to find a second hand board. Boards are more than affordable here. - Sep 2024


"Animal Planet" or "Rainbow Nation" expectations about South Africa. Your assumptions will be challenged every day and you will be both disappointed and then absolutely delighted with what you find. - Sep 2010
