Meals

In South Africa food is as diverse as the people inhabiting the land, and with 11 national languages spoken by South Africans, there is a variety of cuisines from which to choose! There is a strong Indian influence in Durban and Indian roadside carts can be found around town selling bunnies (curry filled bread with a selection of fine spices). Inexpensive food is found everywhere, with meals and snacks ranging from less than a dollar to posh restaurants for the affluent tourist population in Durban. Vegetarians are delighted by the selection of vegetarian (and vegan) foods offered in most restaurants. Western-style food like pizza is found in Durban, as well as artsy seaside cafes, Italian, Greek, Chinese and other African cuisines.

Internet Access

Durban is filled with internet cafes, some with connection rates as low as US$2 per hour. Wireless internet is also available on the campus of University of KwaZulu-Natal.
