Events Galore Make Durban a Lot of Fun - Book your flights early
Anyone visiting Durban over the next couple of months is in for a treat. Tremendous FIFA World Cup action awaits visitors, with the city set to witness seven matches between teams from Brazil, Portugal, Korea Republic, Nigeria, Japan, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain, Australia, and Germany. Besides the FIFA, there is another reason to grab one of the plentiful cheap flights to Durban.
As FIFA gets over, one can look forward to the month of July, which brings the ASP World Qualifying Series - The Mr Price Pro Ballito. This is a surfing championship, which sees some of the biggest names in the sport converging upon Durban from all over the world for the title of Mr Price Pro Ballito. To pep up the event, a two day music festival is also arranged. The event in itself ranks among the top ones on the World Qualifying Series Men’s schedule of the ASP World Tour, where prizes worth US$145,000 are up for grabs.
July also brings the Vodacom Durban July at the Greyville Racecourse, where the game is worth more than R1.5 million. This event is known as the South African turf’s Blue Riband and makes for heart thudding excitement as well bred horses and their jockeys thunder down the course. While booking your flights to Durban, make sure that you plan your visit with these events in your mind to make the most of your trip.
