KLM’s sales to South Africa continues — now to Durban. However, availability is limited and quickly going away. Hurry if you plan on going! Durban is South Africa’s third largest city and also the largest port city in all of Africa — so there are many outdoor activities to choose from, in addition to things like going on a safari.
