Safari from Durban

Durban is the southern long-distance gateway for the northbound Elephant Coast progression.

It gives the circuit a clear airport, rail, and road starting point without presenting the city itself as a wildlife destination.

Allow for city traffic and the long N2 drive; reserve and park gate times still govern any same-day arrival activity.

King Shaka International Airport lies north of central Durban near the N2, the main public-road spine used toward St Lucia.
