*price p.p. incl. rental car and hotels, excl. international flights (based on four persons)

6 days of doing nothing but…

Ballito is a mecca for beach holiday lovers. Pick a nice spot at the beach of Ballito, read a book, have a nap, hop into the warm Indian Ocean and end the day with a yummy dinner.

This hotspot has more in store for you, though. During a dolphin watching tour you can see bottlenose dolphins play in the waves, and you can meet various wildlife species and monkeys in the Hidden Forest Sanctuary, where they have found their forever home.

At Willard Beach, either lean back and watch surfers do their tricks, or grab a board and try for yourself. And in Crocodile Creek, well, you can see crocodiles – goosebumps guaranteed!

The huge malls have a lot in store for you, literally, just as the wide selection of bars and restaurants â€“ perfect for tasting South African cuisine and yummy cocktails after sunset.

Ballito knows how to create the perfect beach holiday.

Explore all of this by yourself during an unforgettable road trip. If you want to learn more about this country during your trip, our guides will be happy to drive and show you around at extra cost.

Ballito

Ballito is a vibrant coastal town just north of Durban, right on the Dolphin Coast - named after the bottlenose dolphins often seen frolicking offshore. It’s famous for its golden beaches, warm Indian Ocean waters and relaxed beach-town energy. Surfing and swimming are top draws here, especially at Willard Beach, home to the legendary yearly Ballito Pro surfing event. Families will love the dolphin-watching tours, Crocodile Creek, and the Hidden Forest Wildlife Sanctuary, which shelters rescued animals and playful monkeys. Ballito also offers fantastic tidal pools, excellent shopping at Ballito Junction Mall and a lively mix of bars, eateries, and nightlife. Get your flip-flops on; it’s the ultimate destination for a sun-soaked, action-packed beach escape.

Drive to Durban and flight home

All good things must come to an end. Today, you’ll catch your flight from King Shaka International Airport, just 20 minutes from Ballito. With the airport so close, you might squeeze in one last coastal adventure - perhaps a quick detour to Durban for a taste of the city and its famous Durban curry at the Victoria Street Market - before returning your rental car and checking in. Durban is only 20 kilometres from the airport, in the opposite direction from Ballito. However you choose to spend the final hours of your holiday, we wish you safe travels and memories to last a lifetime!
