Champagne Sport Resort is absolutely breath taking. The accomodation is situatated on a very big beautiful golf corse. I don't enjoy golf but driving on the cart with friends and taking in the beauty was heaven for me, from then I started liking golf. The Chalets are beautiful and spacious, feels like you are in your own home. Champagne Sport Resorts caters for all ages. It even has a small little church where people can get married and have there reception. Im thinking of it one day for myself. I love this Resort I go almost every year.... read more

I was more excited to see my cousin Thandeka from UK who I haven't seen in 4 years than our family cruise party we had this year the 4th August. We all met up and had a lil catch up session before going to the boat, we got there and we had to take our SHOES OFF which i found "weird". Got in there everybody settled in and went straight in the bar section to get some drinks then we all got to the seating area (which I don't konw what it was called). we had our little reunion thing going on because it had been a while since thw whole family got together and did somethong together. We had dinner on board, then all parted in our age groups for singing and dancing competition against ... read more

We left bright and early on a very cold morning when we were headed to Johannesburg in Alberton to my best friends traditional ceremony called "Umemulo" (where when a girl is 21 years or older, a ritual is done and a cow is slaughtered in her presents and a piece of skin of the cow from the leg is cut and put on the girl's right hand and it is called "Isiphandla"). When we got there we had to get ready real quick for the grand entrance of the singing and dancing for the people that were there for my friend Mbali and we were her peers dressedin traditional beaded skirts and vests and "ubuhlalo" (beaded jewellery). The elders came to us throwing money on the floor and attaching on Mbali's hat she had on than ... read more

On the 31 December 2010, I traveled to Durban "Sea World Aquarium" with friends Travelling has been the biggest passion of my life. I decided to explore my own beautiful country – South Africa. It was an incredible experience. Cape Town may have been the most famous tourist spot visited, but the city I enjoyed exploring the most is Durban. One has to explore it themselves to know exactly what I’m talking about. With its beautiful beaches and colorful, cosmopolitan people, eThekwini-Durban offers visitors a vibrant and entertaining experience. The area is a mix of the energetic Durban, stunning coastline, and the breath-taking views of the Valley of a Thousand Hills. One of my very own favoriteSea World Aquarium - The beauty of the underwater world greets you, without having to get wet! One ... read more

The park consists of different attractions, the most popular one is the dolphin show which is absolutely remarkable!!The show is very educational, teaching young and old about the importance of recycling, and how dangerous certain items like plastic can cause these majestic animals to either get very sick or die as they swallow them by wanting to play with them. They also have the Seal Show and the Penguin and Shark feeding times yet again its an awesome experience full of fun:).. Ushaka also offers shark dives, snorkel lagoon, the ocean walker and the meet a dolphin experience...The oceanarium itself is built underneath an old shipwreck AMAZING!!! A must see for all...You could spend hours just sitting and taking in all this under water beauty AN EXPERIENCE LIKE NO OTHER.... ... read more

Can't remember the last time I was got so annoyed when there was nothing I could do when we were on our way to Agra Holiday Estate B&B, I hated the long drive but once i got there, getting out the car snd runnind around was all I wanted to do.
