Overview

Discover the beauty of the undulating Drakensberg Mountain range as guests travel through such breathtaking vistas and visit the World Heritage Site of Giants Castle.

Set off on foot for a leisurely 3 kilometres round hike to the site of the caves to discover the magical legacy of the bushmen. The guide there will share his knowledge of the paintings which date back 2 000 years.

Guests can tuck into the hearty lunch laid on.

Return to Durban via the Nelson Mandela Capture site, a historically significant moment in South African history and now commemorated with a world class sculpture, in memory of Nelson Mandela and his heroic role in the struggle against apartheid.

From culture to nature, guests will then visit the peaceful Durban Botanic Gardens founded in 1849, a treasure trove of massive trees from Asia, Africa and America, and a magnificent orchid house.

The tour will then conclude with a visit to an icon of Kwazulu Natal, the Moses Mabhida Stadium.

  • Cullinan Holdings has introduced a compulsory vaccination policy with immediate effect, as follows. 'With rising global COVID-19 cases among the unvaccinated population, Cullinan Holdings have implemented a policy requiring all guests travelling either on a group or scheduled tour with Thompsons Africa, to be fully vaccinated. A group is defined as any guest travelling with one or more persons who are not family or friends. If however fellow guests are family or friends travelling in isolation of other guests (private bookings), no mandatory vaccination is required (to be reviewed based on the prevailing global circumstances). This requirement applies to groups (ad-hoc and series), Guided Journeys and all scheduled departure day tour experiences, and is done in the interest of creating a safe environment for everyone. It is the guests' responsibility to ensure that they always comply with these requirements. No refunds will be given if guests are unable to undertake some or all their holiday due to their failure to comply with these requirements. Guests will be responsible for any resulting additional costs including travel and accommodation. Proof of vaccinations may be requested, when necessary. We further strongly recommend that guests ensure they have adequate medical and travel insurance for the duration of their stay in Southern Africa.'
