Time Out Durban Launches with Immersive Experiences

Time Out South Africa has officially launched a dedicated Time Out Durban platform, bringing one of the world's most trusted city-guide brand to KwaZulu-Natal. 

Time Out Durban is the third South African city to join the portfolio under a franchise partnership with Kagiso Media Radio (KMR), following Time Out Cape Town and Time Out Johannesburg, both launched earlier in 2025.

The launch comes at a particularly exciting time for the city, with Time Out’s global survey ranking Durban as one of the best places in the world to travel to in 2026.

Curated by local writers, creatives, and cultural voices, Time Out Durban will deliver trusted, independent coverage of the city's food, drink, culture, nightlife, neighbourhoods, family experiences, and KZN escapes - across web, mobile, email, social and live experiences.

A global brand, a local lens 

Founded in London in 1968, Time Out now reaches audiences in more than 350 cities across 50+ countries - always through the eyes of people who live there. 

While its reach is global, Time Out’s approach is deliberately local. Its trusted guides are curated and created by people who live in their cities, participate in their culture and understand the experiences that deserve attention.

Time Out Durban will follow the same model, working with a growing network of local writers, creatives, cultural voices and community experts to capture the city from the inside.

The platform is being built for Durbanites first, while helping visitors discover the city beyond its familiar postcard image. Its coverage will range from major restaurant openings and headline events to neighbourhood businesses, local personalities, beaches, markets, nightlife, family activities and road trips across KwaZulu-Natal.
