If you have been considering visiting KwaZulu Natal on your next holiday then you should know that there are plenty of affordable places to stay, in Durban. Not only are they affordable, they offer high-level facilities and comfortable in-room conditions. The Optima Holidays is by far the best place to start looking for the right place to stay during your Durban trip. While you’re in the city, you may find yourself interested to know what make it so attractive. A comprehensive list of some of Durban’s most important landmarks and finest attractions will help you plan your day-trips well ahead of time.

• Durban Botanical Gardens: Known to house what is commonly accepted as the rarest plant in the world, the Cycad’s original specimen can be found at this location among many other exotic and indigenous plant, flower and tree species. Strolling through this place makes for a soothing afternoon out so pack a picnic basket and head to the gardens.
• Durban Natural Science Museum: The power of education can never be underestimated and even if it’s been a long time since you set foot in a class or lecture room perhaps you should take the time to learn some new and interesting facts at the museum which pays tribute to our beautiful home – Mother Earth with displays on facts about the planet’s past, present and possible future.
• The Golden Mile: One vast stretch of coastline along which theme-park and amusement rides, fountains, gardens and luxurious hotels and apartments come together to form a fantastic scene. You could spend a whole afternoon eating, enjoying the rides, and relaxing on the beach if you so wish – the whole environment will be encouraging of this.
• The Indian Quarter:As the name would imply, this is an area in Durban dedicated to all things oriental and Indian.Similar to Oriental Plaza in Fordsburg, Johannesburg, a two-storey building in the Indian Quarter is a mecca of spices, fabrics, jewellery and leather goods which carry that particular Indian charm. Shops in larger and more commercial malls such as Gateway Mall and the Pavillion also house stores that sell Indian goods so you have great variety when it comes to shopping.

Through Optima Holidays, you can obtain a vacation package that will take you on a sojourn where you will reside at one of several affordable places to stay, in Durban for a trip you will certainly enjoy.
