Durban is heading into a busy Easter long weekend, with the city expecting about 1.2 million visitors, a direct tourism spend of roughly R2.65 billion, and accommodation occupancy of about 62%.

The city has also said all 23 bathing beaches will be open, with more than 1,000 law enforcement officers and 200 lifeguards deployed across the metro.

For a big free beachfront drawcard, the Durban Festival of Chariots runs from 3 to 6 April at Bay of Plenty lawns on North Beach. The event includes four days of music, dance, drama, and family activities from 11 am to 9 pm daily, with chariot parades on Friday morning and Monday evening, plus a fireworks display on Saturday night. Admission is free.
