Just as a precautionary note for our international travellers, iSimangaliso is roughly 227km from Durban (roughly Wales, North to South), so please do not rely on public transport, car hire in Durban is probably your only option if you’re planning on taking the trip. Car rental in South Africa is extremely cost effective.
