Durban in 1993: A Stunning Helicopter Tour Above the Golden Mile

Step back to 1993 and soar above Durban in this rare, 21-minute aerial time capsule. Captured from a helicopter on a clear summer’s day, this unforgettable tour reveals the city’s iconic skyline, pristine beaches, and vibrant landmarks as they were more than 30 years ago.
