Durban City Tour 1/2 Day Tour
Experience Durban through the eyes of a local. Visit the oldest standing house in the city, embrace the hustle and bustle of the markets at Warwick Triangle and taste a local lunchtime delicacy, the “bunny chow”. Set off from the Berea, learning about Durban’s origins and take in the skyline from our favorite lookout point. We then make our way to the commuter’s daily crossroad, Warwick Triangle, indulging our senses in the vibrant diversity of the Victoria, Muti and Early Morning Markets.

Engage with citizens as you explore the arcades that further criss-cross the city, and educate your palate with a true testament of Durban’s Indian culinary heritage- the “bunny chow”. Stretch your legs with a walk around the historic city centre, from City Hall to the inner-city gardens and end off the trip with a scenic drive along Durban’s harbour, Africa’s busiest port.

We had a great experience. The trip provided a comprehensive history of the transatlantic slave trade, the Ashanti Kingdom and the culture of Ghana. There was something for everyone and fun was also included. Shopping was brisk. Senegal was the perfect wind down to get ready to return to the U.S. The tour guides in both countries were knowledgeable and were very accommodating no matter the request. Thank you Travel to Do Good for exceeding our expectations.

By Linnell B for Ghana with Senegal Extension on Nov 13, 2022

This is the most memorable trip that I have had the opportunity to be apart of. THE PEOPLE, THE FOOD, THE FELLOWSHIP, MOST OF ALL THE HOSPITALITY . AMAZING 👏

By Donna B for Ghana Home Coming on Nov 09, 2022

This trip was fun, eye opening, educational, and I enjoyed every second of it! The WeTravel team did an excellent job in planning and partnering with KITS to make our groups experience phenomenal. I highly recommend using WeTravel for all trips to the Motherland.

By Christopher P for Tanzania Round Trip Air From JFK on Jul 21, 2022

The trip was a wonderful spirit filled experience, true to form with art, music and culture throughout the country. While the trip was a bit too jammed packed with activities, it was good to have a variety of exposures, events and adventures for the full experience. Suggestions for the tour guide; Help set expectations by informing the tour group a day ahead of what to expect. Examples: Inform group of the day(s) when we will be walking in water so we can wear water shoes, short pants, etc. Inform group of days where there will be no running water or toilet facilities while on tour. Thank you again for a well planned and orchestrated "travel to do good" experience.
