- Embark on a journey through the rich heritage of Durban as we explore the enchanting 15-hectare Botanical Gardens, the oldest surviving botanical garden in Africa. Discover the rare Woods cycad and bask in the tranquility that this garden exudes. The natural spring within the gardens once quenched the thirst of Berea elephants on their migratory path, and it stands as a testament to the city's wild past.
Venturing further, we arrive at Elephant House, a historic treasure that survived encounters with local elephant herds seeking passage. Built in 1849, this remarkable structure holds the honor of being Durban's oldest house. Witness its resilience and hear the tale of how it was preserved by the efforts of Elaine and Brian Agar, who restored it in the 1970s to ensure its historical significance lives on.
Join us as we delve into the past, celebrating the living history of Durban's Botanic Gardens and the enduring charm of Elephant House. Produced by Tekweni Media. @Tekweni
