“Aaron our guide was exceptional! Such a funny, kind hearted man... He drove us through the whole of Durban, from Mahatma Gandhi's house through the KwaMuhle museum where you can see Nelson Mandela's statue amongst other South African historical leaders... We learnt a lot about SA's past/politics & history. We also visited the botanical garden which was captivating with all the rare trees&plants we've never seen! Aaron passionately explained to us everything from SA's history to the vegetation in the garden. Defo worth a visit, it's beautiful! Plus the coffee is delicious and some great options... We also drove to the stadium (we couldn't go in but admired from outside).…”
