Tekweni Backpacking hostel in Durban cooks. One can’t say anything else about this ever-buzzy hostel and its hordes of people.

This Durban Backpackers goes off.....

Tekweni backpackers hostel in Durban is situated in the trendy Florida Road area with its cosmopolitan vibe, street cafés, globetrotting restaurants, pubs, clubs and funky ambience, Tekweni backpackers lives up to its motto “Tekweni goes off.” Chances are you won’t get away without at least one good party... 

Tekweni was Durban’s first backpacking hostel and is well run by passionate staff and plenty happens here. Whether it’s an everyone-join-in-braai, a bunny chow* night, a mad knocking back of shooters with crazy names, or cheering on your favourite sports team at the poolside bar, there’s a constant hum of activity…

If you need a bit of quiet, there are abundant private rooms and the two neighbouring houses offer a more mellow vibe. So go and re-charge, then when you’re ready, come back for more.
