There’s something about the December holidays that makes us all feel young again, no matter your age – perhaps it’s the Christmas spirit, not having to clock watch, or being able to spend more time with your children? Whatever it may be, we encourage you to release your inner child these December holidays and join in on the fun with these family suited activities…
Durban
Wet ‘n Wild Ushaka Marine World
When the sun shines in Durban (when does it not though?) the best place to be is Wet ‘n Wild waterpark at Ushaka Marine World.
Giba Gorge Mountain Bike Track
Head up the hill to Hillcrest and explore the natural beauty of Giba Gorge on the many trails– ranging from beginners to experienced biking and hiking trails.
