Leisure

Our partner school offers a wide range of sports, cultural activities and excursions. In Durban the choice is so vast it would be virtually impossible not to find something to suit you: hiking, horse riding, fishing, sailing, diving, rafting, golf… On the weekend, you can go on a safari, in the 96,000-hectare Hluhluwe Imfolozi park, for example, a kingdom of white rhinoceros, lions and elephants. Or, after a long day on the beach, discover the marine world at uShaka or taste a local wine with your friends in anticipation of the evening ahead.
