Prior to travelling by coach to Northern Natal for a 2-night game experience, the group spent the morning at the popular Factory Outlet Centre on the outskirts of Durban to take advantage of the favourable exchange rate where I am sure that the sports store staff were rubbing their hands together while the players stocked up on Super 12's Jerseys and other merchandise.

The group then travelled North through Zululand to their destination at the game reserve.

En route, the group visited the Dumazulu Cultural Village where they enjoyed a tour of a living, working Zulu community. The tour invoved an insight into the language, culture and beleifs of the Zulu people culminating in a breathtaking display of Zulu dance and a chance to try their native brew called 'Zulu beer'!

After an early start, before sunrise the group embarked on theri first game experience which was a boat cruise on Lake Jozini.

The lake is over 20K in length and is home to wildlife such as Crocodile, Hippo and a wide range of birdlife.

Upon their return from the boat cruise the middle of the day was spent at leisure in and around the complex where the majority of the group enjoyed time around the pool before embarking on the second game experience of the day where they enjoyed a traditional game drive on 4X4 Land Rovers.

The group were driven into the Mkuze Game reserve where they could spot the infamous 'Big Five' (Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Buffalo and Rhino). The group retunred from the drive just after sunset to enjoy their last night in the resort reflecting on an incredible experience.
