August-September is the best time to go due to its perfect climate conditions although Durban is a great destination to visit almost all year round, with its moderate climate. Flights and accommodation can also be cheaper as it is outside of key peak holiday seasons if you book well enough in advance around this time of the year. If you want to avoid visiting Durban during its hottest temperatures, it’s best to avoid visiting from November to March, which is summer time in the southern hemisphere. The weather in the winter, especially around July, rarely goes lower than 12℃. The days are the longest in Durban in January, so if you want to see the sights during the day when the sun is up for the longest time, it’s best to visit around that time of year. If you’re trying to avoid the rain, then steer clear of Durban in November. June is the driest month.

Although Durban can be amazingly fun and exciting, tourists should still be aware of the dangers that do exist, especially for visitors unfamiliar with the city and area. You should be vigilant and take all possible precautions to minimize the risk of potential crime. Avoid walking alone, or after dark, and be mindful of your personal belongings.

Durban, formerly Port Natal, the largest city of KwaZulu-Natal province and chief seaport of South Africa, is located on Natal Bay of the Indian Ocean. Durban is located on the east coast of South Africa, looking out upon the Indian Ocean. The city lies at the mouth of the Umgeni River, which demarcates parts of Durban's north city limit, while other sections of the river flow through the city itself.

There are 9 million native English speakers in the country, making it the fourth most common first language. It is an accepted language for government and media organizations in most cities. Zulu is spoken by 23 percent of South Africans as a first language; Xhosa by 16 percent, and Afrikaans by 14 percent of the population.
