Poised on the edge of Africa, between the rolling waves of the Indian Ocean and the rugged Drakensberg Mountain Range, lies the city of Durban. Southern Sun North Beach is set in Durban, a city merging with perfect harmony, rustic simplicity of Africa, and the modern sophistication of an international business centre. Durban can be hot and unpleasantly humid in summer, although the highlands are still pleasant; this is also a summer rainfall area.
