TRAVELTIME - Future Outings

SUNDAY 14th to FRIDAY 19th JULY 2013 

NATAL MIDLANDS 2013
Including Battlefields

Our previous tour to Natal was in April 2010.  This time we have chosen July. The hot, humid KwaZulu-Natal coast, as well as the Lowveld (lower-lying areas) of Mpumalanga and Limpopo provinces, offer fantastic winter weather with sunny, warmish days and virtually no wind or rain.
Durban boasts an average of 320 days of sunshine a year. Temperatures range from 16 to 25º C in winter. The warm Mozambique current flowing along the coast means wonderfully warm bathing throughout the year, the water seldom falling below 17º C even in the middle of winter. With these conditions, it’s no accident that
Durban is considered the “holiday city” of KwaZulu Natal.

Our base will, once again, be the Granny Mouse Hotel, which is well positioned in the Midlands Meander area. Old-world charm, embedded in the foundations of the hotel, complements the rural ambiance and modern comforts of the rooms and venues.  This elegant hotel with two restaurants and spa is situated in the picturesque KwaZulu Natal Midlands at the foothills of the uKhahlamba-Drakensberg, one of South Africa’s world heritage sites. 

Some highlights of this tour will be:

  • A conducted tour to the Battlefields region close to the Granny Mouse Hotel.  We will visit the site of Churchill’s armoured train disaster and also Spieonkop, arguably the most dramatic battlefields sites in the world.  Our guide will set the scene for our tour with a presentation the night before at the Granny Mouse Hotel!

  • Wednesday 17th July a visit to the Drakensberg Boys Choir for their afternoon performance

  • Two days discovering the Midlands Meander area – some new highlights of this area include:
    A visit to the Wedgewood Nougat Farm and the new Nelson Mandela Sculpture
    at the
    Capture Site – this consists of 50 ten meter high laser cut steel poles set into the landscape, When seen from a particular point, they focus into a portrait of Nelson Mandela.
