In South Africa, a colossal biannual pilgrimage takes city dwellers from urban decay to pristine coastlines in only six hours. Durban holidays are wildly popular with the Gauteng set because, after a negligibly short drive, vistas transform cityscapes into mountainous coastlines.   
The tropical climate and cosy marine temperatures play their part in making Kwazulu Natal the vacation of choice for those in the know. A strong infrastructure and commercial hub ensure that holidays to Durban are jam-packed with all the first world amenities a beach goer could dream of. Natal's greatest asset is its immaculate shoreline and year round temperature-perfect climate. To those seeking niche holidays with a slightly more unusual flavour, it offers up a novel cluster of treasures that the average holidaymaker remains ignorant of. The surrounding Drakensburg mountain range provides its own version of spectacular landscapes, and is close enough to reach from hotels in Durban. 

  Since Natal's weather is particularly forgiving, the season you choose to take your Durban holiday is dependent on your whims. Avoiding the Gauteng and Cape Town commute that happens during the four annual school holidays remains the key factor for timing your vacation.   

A winter holiday to Durban will be dry and comfortably temperate. The sun never stops shining in Natal, and rainfall is light enough to leave your vacation choices uninterrupted by downpours. Summers fall between November and March, and in certain regions Decembers are heavy with humidity. In January, the region is subject to spectacular thunderstorms. From June to August, winter tries to add a little chill to the air but fails. Humidity diminishes during these months, making winter an ideal time to visit.
