Durban
Durban is easiest to plan through King Shaka International Airport and the accommodation hubs along the north coast.
- Flying in
- Use King Shaka International Airport (DUR). The official arrivals transport page lists shuttle and taxi operators outside International Arrivals; pre-book your transfer and confirm the fare with the operator.
- Where to stay
- Good coastal bases include uMhlanga Rocks, Umdloti and Sibaya, Westbrook, and Ballito or Zimbali. Compare the areas, then book directly with a reputable property or established booking platform.
- Getting around
- A pre-booked transfer or rental car is the simplest option for airport and hotel journeys. Allow extra time for N2 and M4 traffic; exact wedding-day directions and parking guidance will be shared privately.
- What to pack
- Early October is warm on the coast and showers are possible. Bring breathable clothing, sun protection, comfortable shoes and a light rain layer alongside your formal ceremony outfit.
