Research 6 classified outdoor destinations within weekend reach of Durban, grouped across 4 kinds of place and ordered by measured straight-line distance from the city centre. Distances only — no travel times, schedules, or rankings.

Confirm access, facilities, and seasonal conditions with an official source before travelling.
