@@travelconnect1I really appreciate how you honestly and accurately break down our different cities but I must say that until you visit the Eastern Cape Province you're still short of the full SA experience. Visit Port Elizabeth/ Gqeberha. You can stay either at the beachfront Boardwalk Hotel or at the Radisson Blu also among many other hotels. You will find that PE and also Easy London are the best kept secrets from international travelers.Enjoy ur videos though
Thanks. I'll be visiting all those cities in the Eastern Cape as well. Once the channel starts growing, i'll be about to spend more time in Africa creating content for you guys. But until then, all this is being funded out of my own pocket. If you want to support, you can use one of the methods in the description box of this video, or, you can just continue to watch, like, and share my videos. Either way, I appreciate you all.
I was in Durban a couple of months ago, stayed on North Beach, more security and a lot safer than 5 years ago, same said for Florida Rd, much safer...Uhmlanga is like a millionaires playground...Durbans a must see and yes friendlier than Cape Town and less hassle
The best black UA-cam travel channel on the planet. You deserve 10 million subscribers. Your videos are so professional and portray a real positive image of Africa.
Thank you for the glowing report👌🏾 I'm a native of Johannesburg, but I love Durban and its surrounding suburbs. Definitely cheaper living costs than Joburg and Cape Town, and friendlier too. It's a great mix of slow living and city life. Try Port Elizabeth (Qheberha). You might like it.
Great video man ... very informative. I have a friend who is from Durban ... always inviting me to visit but I was being put off by the poor reviews coming out of other areas in SA
Niccce insight and review!!! I was also interested in visiting Durban, as this is where MSC cruise line has a port at for their South African cruise... Thanks Again for your content Bro!! #Salute
You have great content, like this one. If I may add a suggestion, next to narrating, what about vlog addition, even if it is just one minute broken down into 4x20 sec where you interview/ask a single question or make a statement while you are at a venue? Would make your content extremely pesonal and relateble. Otherwise good job!
I appreciate this video...I will be on the continent for two weeks in September. Spending a couple of days in Joburg then driving to Durban for my birthday weekend to see the country side and party a bit.... then back to Joburg to end my visit this time.
That's what's up. I have 2 Johannesburg videos on the channel. Check them out. Hopefully they will give you some ideas of things to do while there. Enjoy.
Did you try the Durban Bunny Chow? Curry Dish served in a quarter loaf of bread? (Very spicey) Gounden's makes good ones. Or try Coconut Grove for a Bunny Chow experience
Great content otherwise 💪🏽💪🏽 you’ve just gained a subscriber. Please check out the South Coast of Kwazulu natal in future, like Margate and Port Shepston.
The most underrated city in the country is Port Elizabeth. Book at any of the hotels at the beachfront. Boardwalk hotel or Radisson Blu but the are many others. Port Elizabeth also has the cleanest beaches in the country. The cities you have been to are also the best marketed but Port Elizabeth rivals the other two cities pretty well.
@@travelconnect1it would be awesome if we could do a collabor when you come to PE as i stay here and do a lot of content work in PE and the surrounding areas. Great video of Durban, I thoroughly enjoyed it 😊
No doubt South Africa is beautiful. My honest opinion is as Americans, you all seem to go the big major cities and metropolitans. You go to the top fancy hotels, like the Protea, try a boutique hotel. This for any South African is the best of the best. It'll be nice to get someone who can show you around. We've got Hillcrest, Valley of 1000 Hills, we have the Eastern Cape, we have Limpopo. All the videos I watch of Americans visiting SA, you all seem to want the built up metropolitan life, and I think it limits you because there is so much more than Durban, than Cape Town or Jozi.
It's not a American thing. People in general tend to visit the most popular cities in every country, as they are usually more tourist friendly. And from a UA-camr perspective, you first want to go to the popular cities because you'll get more views...as they are popular. Then after you build a subscriber base, you can go to less popular areas and have a better chance of UA-cam pushing those videos out to a broader audience. UA-cam is a business, so you must be strategic.
lol 😂 there are levels to it hey. Similarly to what you may consider a hood in the US will mostly likely have a way different feel and look in comparison to the hood in SA.
Please note it is incorrect to call Americans who are Black, African Americans! Note African is not the colour of the skin, it is a Continent. Therefore it is Black Americans. The continent of Africa has Africans of all colours. Please respect this natural explanation. Thank you.
@@travelconnect1 Black ancestors came from other continents, besides Africa. You’re obviously a black American and faithful to the theme “ what’s yours is also mine”. This is the stamp in many countries ‘visited’ by the US. Be comforted by knowing that you’re not African.
Clearly AI talking to you!!! Next time you in Durban, allow me to be your Tour Guide I will show you the true Durban!! Why were you not taken to the outskirts of Durban, the famous Shack Dwellings and so many eyesore places of ROT??? Love to know what was your reward on this video???
Simple....I'm a tourist and wanted to go to the touristy part of town. I wasn't interested in going to the outskirts on my first trip to Durban. That's for another video.
The vast majority of Durban is in rot. The reason why your bus didn't allow you to walk the markets of the city centre is because too many of your tour group would get violently robbed.
I'm pretty sure they didn't let us off because the company only has one bus, and because of this they must keep a tight schedule. Joburg has many buses which allows them to let passengers on and off every hour.
I beg to differ ---- you people tend to romantisise cities like Durban/ Cape Town/ Johannesburg -------- in reality there is a LOT of crime ----- especially murder/ highjackings/robberies/theft/ housebreaking in South Africa in general ----- it has become routine
There is a lot of crime in many touristy places around the world, and i've been to those as well. Including in my own country. This doesn't mean you shouldn't visit them. It just means you use caution.
I am black canadian and always wanted to visit SA with my wife but i am so scared of crime. If it was just pick pockets or criminals after your belongings, it would be manageable, but apparently, they kill and rape too 😞
Every time you said oom langa made me laugh. Its pronounced um-shh-langa. Cool video depicting the prime upper income locations of Durban. Don't visit the city centre, its markets or shops - YOU WILL GET ROBBED - Durban is not like America, the vast majority of it is riddled with crime. Middle class areas like Chatsworth, malvern, montclair are a no go zone for tourists. Low income areas like Umlazi, and Phoenix will certainly get you violently attacked. Most citizens arm themselves substantially when leaving home. I've had to defend myself countless times.
Yes. My pronunciation is trash 🤦🏿♂️. Thanks for the insights. I plan to visit Durban many more times in the future. Where I'm from in the U.S. has lots of crime that I've avoided using basic street smarts. Hopefully i'll have the same luck in Durban.
@@travelconnect1Thanks for visiting our country. Kindly note that there are hateful trolls who are doing their best to scare people from coming to South Africa. Most of them are Europeans and American racists who hate SA for what it stands for. Others are unfortunately our African brothers who only want to boost tourism in their countries by discrediting SA. If South Africa was so dangerous why would Europeans flock in the country in droves. Some do not want to go back home. Every plane is full of Europeans and few black people. South Africa like any country has crime and other challenges, we are not perfect and many countries are also not perfect. We are hated for defeating apartheid and standing against exploitation of African resources. As a country we pride ourselves for standing for multipolar world and against the western hegemony. That is our sin and we dont care. We have the most beautiful country in the world with rapidly developing cities. It hurts many in the West to see a black run country thriving and they are working very hard to tarnish our reputation as a people. So, my friend enjoy our country.

Can't wait to see Durban again,l lived there for ten years and it's so nice and the people respect

Which part of Durban you lived at ?
Thank you for visiting my lovely city. People that live in Durban are called ' Durbanites, Joburg are ' Joburgers' and Cape Town are ' Cape Towneans'
My pleasure

I am from Southern Africa and spent 45 yrs in the US and Durban reminds me of Miami. I have stayed in Zimabali resort which is gorgeous
Gotta love it
The "h" in "Umhlanga" is not silent. To pronounce the "hl" sound, touch your palate with the tip of your tongue and exhale into the "anga"
😂😂😂 Love your explanation
You should have heard me try it just now. I'm sure you wouldn't have approved. 🤣🤣🤣

Oomshlanga
