Hotels near Kingsmead Cricket Stadium, Durban, South Africa .

Catering to the cricketing needs of Durban, South Africa, is the Sahara Stadium Kingsmead. The stadium has enough space for approximately 25,000 viewers and serves as the home court for South African cricket team KwaZulu-Natal Dolphins.

Kingsmead is notable in history for hosting the 1939 timeless Test games. This is one of the longest Test games in cricketing history and involves the English and South African teams. The game lasted for ten days, beginning on March 3 and ending on March 13. The game could have continued, but the English were concerned that they might not be able to board the ship home.

Kingsmead had begun operation earlier than that, however. In fact, South Africa and England had both faced each other in cricket games on January 18, 1923. This game didn’t bring either team victory but instead a draw.

Kingsmead Cricket Stadium is not the only attraction in the Durban area. Visitors can also take time to visit places such as the Nagle Dam, which itself is part of the Valley of a Thousand Hills. In here, you can take pictures, have a picnic at the wildlife reserve, or just breathe in the fresh air. If not, you can go over to the Golden Mile, where most of the urban attractions of Durban reside. There, you can find Funworld, a children’s amusement park.
