When you disembark and collected your luggage, the first thing to do is to head off to the car hire in Durban King Shaka Airport. You will be spoilt for choices of make, model and types of car that are available to make your journey a pleasurable one. If possible try and get a car that has air-conditioning as the Durban climate can be very humid. This humidity can be very clinging and uncomfortable on a long drive.
All said and done you can head off to your hotel and get ready for a day at the beach.

The Kwa Zulu Natal coast has many fantastic beaches up and down the coast line that will appease any taste or activity, be it fishing, surfing, or maybe just a secluded beach to read a book and suntan. When it comes to sun tanning, it is advisable to make sure that you have the right sun factor cream as the South African can be very harsh on European skin. A SF of 15 or more for most types and a SF 30 for fair skin from the northern hemisphere. You don’t want to spoil your holiday by over doing it on the first day.
