Durban 2027

Durban & Umhlanga, South Africa

DECEMBER 8-17, 2027

Your African Coastal Glow Awaits

Sis, pack your best resort looks — it’s time to shine where African soul meets coastal sophistication. Welcome to Durban, South Africa’s radiant seaside gem, where golden beaches, vibrant culture, and timeless elegance come together in one breathtaking experience.

Join us for 9 days and 8 nights of seaside serenity, rich heritage, and soft-life indulgence at the world-renowned Oyster Box Hotel — one of Africa’s most iconic oceanfront escapes. From Zulu village celebrations and spice market strolls to yacht cruises and safari adventures, this is where Black woman joy, culture, and glamour meet in perfect harmony.

This isn’t just a getaway — it’s a celebration of heritage, sisterhood, and divine rest.

Let Durban’s rhythm, colors, and coastline remind you that elegance is more than a look — it’s a lifestyle.

A Perfect Blend of

Heritage and Coastal Glamour

Known as South Africa’s “Coastal Queen,” Durban is a feast for the senses — a place where palm-fringed beaches meet a rich mix of Zulu and Indian influences.

By day, explore golden shores and cultural landmarks; by night, sip champagne at rooftop lounges and dine beside the Indian Ocean.

Testimonials

As a first time traveler with Travel Divas I found the hosts knowledgeable, organized, accessible and friendly. The accommodations and meals exceeded expectations. The itinerary for South Africa, Zimbabwe and Bostwana were full of memorable sites and visits.

I love Travel Divas because there is so much black girl magic from the guests like myself to the founder and hosts. All the women show up to have a good time, meet new people, and have new experiences, what else can you ask for. Curated private events just for the group are a sweet touch as well. We change the narrative that black women can’t get along

Coasy H.

My experience was wonderful. The hosts did an outstanding job. The sisterhood was real. I came on the trip knowing 1 person and developed friendships with so many others. The events we shared were phenomenal. I was so excited to go on another Travel Divas trip that I booked my next year's Girlfriend Cruise while sitting in the airport. See you then.

I love the travel divas because every single trip that I’ve been on since 2011 has been absolutely amazing. The hospitality, the friendships, the sisterhood, the many different places and just everything in between. I can’t say enough. Looking forward to the next trip. Travel Divas you Rock!

Crystal H.

I enjoyed my trip as always. The Divas never disappoint. They don’t come to play. It was fun from day one until the last minute. The private events were fun and amazing everyone was engaging with each other. Open bar drinks 🥤 flowing and laughter was unlimited. Black Girl Magic 🪄 at its finest!!

Rosalind J.

I LOVE the travel divas because their trips provide an excellent opportunity to see the world with like minded women who love to travel. For those who think traveling is expensive. The Travel Divas make it fun affordable. We all need to see something other than our usual in city travels! I am a Travel Diva!
