About Durban Tours
Durban is a magnificent city having a very controversial past. The British who found the town called it Port Natal. Sugar was this region's "white gold" known to yield fortunes, and during the 19th century, thousands of indentured labourers were shipped to Durban from India to work the sugar plantations. During this period, Durban enforced the harshest apartheid laws on its mixed population, keeping the races strictly segregated. Once the Apartheid era was over, Durban shed its old image and became a symbol of secularity and progressive thinking. Today, Durban is the busiest port in South Africa and an international tourism hotspot due to its warm subtropical climate and extensive beaches. Today Durban is said to house the largest Indian population outside of India and a strong Indian strain in Durban's architecture, cuisine, and customs.
