The Tropicana Hotel is located along Durban's inviting "Golden Mile" of shoreline. Known to the native Zulus as Thekweni, Durban is a fascinating city with a rich history and a progressive eye on the future. Africa's largest, busiest port and the economic powerhouse of the Zulu kingdom, Durban has become a travel hotspot, both for business and for pleasure. Its vibrant downtown teems with world-class restaurants, entertainment, and conference centers, and Durban also beckons to the nature lover, acting as a gateway to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The Greater St Lucia Wetland Park is a serene coastal preserve containing five functioning ecosystems, and the neighboring uKhahlamba- Drakensberg Park a treasure trove of anthropology, holding over 40,000 rock art paintings that date back thousands of years. Whether here for fun, sun, and surf, or for a critical international conference, Durban's unique setting and exciting cultural mélange is sure to thrill even the most seasoned traveler.
