Raymond Heron is a specialist South African War raconteur and registered guide who will accompany you to the many historic sights of the Kwa-Zulu Natal Battlefields. With his passion and ability, Raymond transports you back in time, using the theatre of the mind as he paints vivid pictures of the personal trauma and military mindset of the time. It is difficult to imagine that the scenic and tranquil landscape of Central and Northern Kwa-Zulu Natal, which boasts the best concentration of Battlefields in the Southern Hemisphere – was once the focal point of major military battles, where Zulu Brit & Boer clashed in conflict, each with a fascinating tale or poignant memory to recall.

This recently opened attraction has quickly become a very well-received activity. This is an awesome excursion for nature lovers, family getaways and any one who wants to explore the enchanted Blue Grotto forest in the Drakensberg foothills. This area is rich in animal and bird life, including the rare Bush Blackcap.

The Canopy Tour is a fun and safe eco-adventure for the whole family and is made up of a journey of 12 slides that allow you to drift through the usually inaccessible forest canopy. On arrival at each platform, explorers are encouraged to relax while the guide points out interesting features and facts about the surrounding ecology. Platforms are perched in trees and on cliff faces, allowing your senses to flood with the timeless atmosphere of the forest. The inspiring nature of the majestic Drakensberg, the ancient indigenous forest, waterfalls and cascading streams make this an opportunity not to be missed.
