Alright, Durban, here I come! I am Carl Joshua Ncube grandson of a Zulu Grandmother and Sotho Grandfather born to a Ndebele father and Shona Mother, I am travelling to KwaZulu Natal on my own version of Khumbul’ekhaya. I’ve got a Durban bucket list that’s hotter than a bunny chow on a Durban beach day. Let’s get this party started: here are 10 things on my agenda
Witness the Warriors Unleashed:
Nothing beats the electric atmosphere of a Zimbabwe Warriors match. The roar of the crowd, the vuvuzelas, the sheer joy of seeing our boys in green dominate (hopefully!). I’m talking Moses Mabida Stadium, baby! Let’s go, Warriors!
Ushaka Marine World:
Where Fish Are Friends, Not Food: Okay, I know what you’re thinking: “Carl, you’re a grown man.” But hear me out. Ushaka is a Durban institution. I’m talking penguins, sharks, and maybe even a sneaky selfie with a seal. Plus, the slides are legendary.
Golden Mile Stroll
People Watching at its Finest: Durban’s Golden Mile is a masterpiece of human observation. From the flamboyant beach vendors to the bewildered tourists, there’s always something to chuckle at. Grab an ice cream, find a bench, and enjoy the show.
Bunny Chow Showdown:
Durban bunny chow is a religion. I’m on a mission to conquer them all. From the classic mutton to the adventurous vegetarian options, I’m ready to judge them all on taste, spice, and overall “bunny-ness.”
Durban Botanic Gardens:
Nature’s Therapy: Need a break from the city hustle? The Durban Botanic Gardens are a tranquil oasis. Lose yourself in the lush greenery, maybe even spot a monkey, and pretend you’re a Victorian explorer.
Battle of the Curry Houses:
Durban’s curry scene is a culinary battlefield. From the fiery Durban-style curries to the delicate Indian flavors, I’m ready to embark on a flavor-filled journey. My stomach might regret it later, but my taste buds will thank me.
Surfer’s Paradise:
Where I’ll Just Watch (Mostly): I may not be the most graceful surfer, but I can appreciate the art of riding the waves. Grab a board, find a shady spot, and enjoy the spectacle. Maybe even try to catch a wave or two – if the embarrassment doesn’t get to me first.
Valley of a Thousand Hills:
Views That Will Take Your Breath Away: This is where the real Durban magic happens. The rolling hills, the Zulu villages, the breathtaking scenery… it’s enough to make any comedian speechless (for about five minutes).
Indoni: A Zulu Cultural Experience:
Immerse yourself in Zulu culture with a traditional Indoni performance. The music, the dancing, the storytelling… it’s a captivating and unforgettable experience.
End it with a Durban Sunset:
There’s nothing quite like a Durban sunset. Find a rooftop bar, grab a cocktail, and let the city lights paint the sky. It’s the perfect end to a perfect Durban adventure.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a bunny chow to conquer. If you want to join me please get in touch.
