About the Tour

On this beach promenade walk you will hear the stories that make Durban the remarkable place it is today. You’ll get to know what makes the iconic Moses Mabhida stadium such a hive of activity and also learn about the man himself. While you enjoy the ocean breeze you’ll hear how British colonists influenced the area and the story of how Durban got its name. You'll also learn the tragic story of Ruth First, one of South Africa’s first anti-apartheid activists who was murdered with a letter bomb.

Modern Durban is a city where Zulu customs blend together with Indian spices, where British colonial influence and the history of the Afrikaner sit side by side. This tour reveals what makes Durban such a diverse and inclusive place.

How VoiceMap Works

Focus on your surroundings, not the screen
The VoiceMap app uses GPS to play audio automatically, at the right time and place, so you can focus on your surroundings, not the screen.
Follow a route with turn-by-turn-directions
VoiceMap tours follow a route from a fixed starting point. That lets us give turn-by-turn directions and use context to tell a better story.
Resume playback to go at your own pace
If you'd like to stop for a drink or go into a museum, end your tour then use the Resume feature to pick up exactly where you left off.
Listen as many times as you like
You can listen to your tours as often as you like using both the VoiceMap app and website.
Take virtual tours anywhere, like a podcast
Select Virtual mode in the VoiceMap app to listen to tours like a podcast - at home or in transit.
