Next to the Victoria Street Market is the Zulu Medicine Market where you can have an informative tour of “Inyanga (Doctors) lane”. The Zulu Medicine Market is a unique place where Zulu culture has survived in the modern urban environment.

But some of each. We got some great spices and some local crafts. Note that there are two buildings and that the market is busier and more vibrant in the am.
The Victoria Street Market is a touristy Durban market where one can buy lots of souvenirs! Spices, bracelets, African/Indian dresses and little trinkets are sold here.
The Victoria Street Market is a busy place and you have to seek and deal for what you wish. Very kind and lovely Indian sellers explain to you how to use spices. Explore traditional handcrafts of the Zulu culture as well as from the greater Africa in general. You have to deal the price and it can be funny for most, but annoying for others who are not used to that. Take a cab to go there. We spent 1.30 hour.
