Drakensberg Boys Choir School

The Drakensberg Boys Choir School is one of the few South African Schools whose fame extends around the world. This school offers a unique educational opportunity for boys; it stimulates their spirit of adventure and exploration in our beautiful surroundings, while nurturing the development of the mind and expression in innate musical talent. Set on a 100Ha estate, the school draws its inspiration from the majestic Drakensberg Mountains, a World Heritage Site in KwaZulu-Natal, and is filled with the sound of boys singing, surely one of the purest of musical delights in the world. Don't miss our popular Wednesday concerts at 15h30, every Wednesday during term time!

What an entertaining & thought provoking time was spent at the Drakensberg boys choir today. The first half was beautiful, a wonderful blend of traditional classical choral music with a touch of Africa - from Bach’s Gloria to Dr Seuss’s Mr Grinch The second half entitled Lalela Zulu - celebrating 25 years of freedom was non stop energy singing and a powerful message - we must honour the South African past and what we have overcome as a nation and move forward together - learning from the people abuses of the past and not losing strength for the right actions going forward. Thank you for this brave and thought provoking presentation in the singing, the energy and the slide show presentations. This is worth traveling long distances to attend.

Ushaka Horse Trails

Reviewed By laurenhowden

My husband, myself and our two children enjoyed the most wonderful 2hr outride with Ushaka. The horses were well looked after and the guides were experienced. We saw beautiful sights, dismounting at the top of a hill to take in the beauty of the mountains around us. We saw amazing birds of prey and even an owl protecting her nest. We so enjoyed the experience, I went back a week later with my sister, enjoying another exciting outride. I highly recommend Ushaka Horse Trails and the capable couple that run it.

Monks Cowl

Reviewed By DeonT37

Monks Cowl is an exquisite place to visit. It offers many hiking trails for different experience and fitness levels. We paid R45 per adult and R20 per child. We did the Sterkspruit Falls route, stopping at the beautiful Sterkspruit Waterfall and Pools. Total circular distance was approximately 3.5 Km. Do yourself a favour and bring along your swimwear, a towel and a picnic basket and enjoy the cool water at the Pools.
