Durban Botanic Gardens
Opposite the Greyville Racecourse, Africa's oldest surviving botanical garden is a delightful oasis of greenery interlaced with walking paths, fountains, and ponds. The gardens' orchid house and collection of rare cycads are renowned. On weekends it's a popular place for wedding photographs. During the Music at the Lake events, which happen on some Sundays, various musical acts perform in the gardens (additional fee) and people take along picnics.
