Cooking round the campfire at Kwandwe
KWANDWE Private Game
Reserve in Grahamstown
has launched a three-day
campfire cooking experience,
where guests learn to cook
authentic South African braai
dishes.
Kwandwe’s head chefs will
teach guests how to prepare
and make a three-course
meal by the campfire, using
impala, kudu, ostrich, warthog
and gemsbok meat. Guests
will also learn how to make
boerewors.
A new tarred 2,1km runway
on the reserve allows shortrange
aircraft to land at the
reserve, reducing travelling
time for guests.
Kwandwe has nine Main
lodge suites, six Ecca lodge
suites, a three-bedroom villa
and a swimming pool.
uShaka Marine World launches
new adventure
USHAKA Marine World
has launched a new Rope
Adventure.
The course consists of
a series of rope bridges,
obstacle courses, climbing
nets, zip lines and crossings
that are suitable for all ages.
The trail starts from the
Village Walk and travels over
the scenic Sea World and
uShaka’s signature phantom
ship. There are two courses
– a less adventurous one
suitable for children and a
second for thrill seekers.
Both courses take 45
minutes to complete. The
children’s course consists
of 18 elements, including
two short zip lines over
the rocky reef and turtle
enclosure tanks. The second
course includes 17 elements
that are more challenging,
including a double zip line off
the top deck of the ship and
over the snorkel lagoon to
the end point at Village Walk.
Each participant wears a fullbody
climbing harness and is
attached to a safety cable.
Trained guides are on hand
to instruct on the use of the
equipment and to monitor
and assist participants.
