5. Take a trip Ntshingwayo / Chelmsford Dam and Ncandu Falls:
Take advantage of the natural sites we have right here at our doorsteps. Have a picnic at the Chelmsford Dam and cast in a rod or two to pass the time and soak up the sun.
For some much deserved R&R, visit the Ncandu Falls and watch nature perform at its best – enjoy a lekker braai and spend quality time with the family.
