The carnival will be held over 14 days and will feature loads of fun filled beach activites for the whole family. Visitors to Umhlanga Rocks can expect to be involved in surfing competitions, beach games, sailing competitions, trail runs, carol singing and a street party.

Johannesburg to Durban prices

We compared the prices of travel for the first weekend of the South African year end school holidays. We found Mango to offer the cheapest flights on the Friday evening, with a one way flight to Durban at R804 per person when we checked (prices will change). The bus prices have shown a slight increase since the last survey done on this route due to the start of the school holidays. The cheapest rate we found was R200 per person for a one way bus trip with City to City (the prices will change). If you would like to hire a car during your stay in Durban, be sure to check Car Trawler who displayed the most affordable car hire prices when we checked.
