Maputo

Mediterranean-style architecture, tree-lined avenues, cafes and a promenade, Maputo is probably one of the most fascinating capitals in Africa.

Maputo, also known as Lourenço Marques before independence, is the capital and largest city of Mozambique, here men dressed in traditional Jellaba gather to chat, while women dressed in a thousand colors buy seafood and spices at the picturesque and always lively municipal market with carts that whiz loaded with everything. Also museums, shops and markets galore.

Durban

A lively city that stretches along a strip of yellow-brown sand, the third largest tourist resort in South Africa.

The waterfront, with its expanse of skyscraper hotels and snack bars, remains a symbol of the city, and the city center, studded with some grandiose colonial buildings and fascinating Art Deco architecture, pulsates at a distinctly African rhythm. Place with the largest concentration of people of Indian origin in the country, Durban also boasts places, sounds and smells typical of the subcontinent. While the beach is always the favorite place, many visitors visit the suburbs, crammed with accommodation, shopping centers, funky bars and elegant restaurants.
