Things To Do
Nelson Mandela Capture Site
Nelson Mandela was arrested on 5 August 1962 outside Howick, Natal, South Africa.
He spent the next 27 years of his life in prison.
The Nelson Mandela Capture Site commemorates this moment in history with a visitor centre and a world-renowned sculpture.
Howick Falls
Howick Falls is a waterfall in Howick, KwaZulu-Natal Province, South Africa.
The waterfall is approximately 95 m in height (310 feet) and lies on the Umgeni River.
The Zulu people called the falls KwaNogqaza, which means “Place of the Tall One”.
Karkloof Canopy Tour
Situated in the Karkloof Nature Reserve, this is a one-of-a-kind eco-experience that is all about fun and adventure. It takes visitors gliding from tree to tree in the safety of a harness, through the second-largest indigenous forest in the country. Platforms have been put around the trees (using a tension system that does not damage the beautiful trunk), and steel cables dangle between these, allowing visitors to slide between towering trees at canopy level while drinking in the views of the emerald-green valley below.
The Midmar Dam
Day visitors to the Midmar Dam will find shady picnic spots along the shoreline of the dam and braai (barbecue) facilities that make picnicking here such a pleasure. Water sports abound, swimming is fun for everyone, although sticking to the shoreline is probably a good idea with all of the boat activity.Midmar offers a wide variety of activities including game viewing, water sports, angling and cycling. Sailing power boating, kite boarding and jet skiing are all catered for on different sections of the dam. Midmar Boat Hire has a whole range of craft from power to sail and bicycles for hire. Hire bicycles or use your own and explore the shoreline round to the Cascades.
