Car Rental South Africa Branches
The Zulu name for Durban is Thekwini, meaning "The Place Where the Earth and the Ocean Meet". Lined with golden beaches, Durban offers a subtropical carnival atmosphere and summer sunshine all year round. From around the globe, day in, day out, pleasure-seekers converge on the city to play on the golden, palm-fringed sands.
At excellent one-stop shopping centres, you can buy anything from photographic equipment to couturier clothes and rare antiques. Flea markets and craft trails attract leisurely browsers, and discount stores offer quality merchandise at bargain basement prices. Within a stone's throw of the city centre, oriental bazaars, fragrant with spice and incense, offer silks, saris, unusual jewellery and ornaments. Pubs, discos and action bars are firm favourites.

This area is known to the Zulus as the `Barrier of Spears’, the ‘Drakensberg’ or the `Dragon Mountains’.
