Ushaka Horse Trails

Reviewed By laurenhowden

My husband, myself and our two children enjoyed the most wonderful 2hr outride with Ushaka. The horses were well looked after and the guides were experienced. We saw beautiful sights, dismounting at the top of a hill to take in the beauty of the mountains around us. We saw amazing birds of prey and even an owl protecting her nest. We so enjoyed the experience, I went back a week later with my sister, enjoying another exciting outride. I highly recommend Ushaka Horse Trails and the capable couple that run it.

Dragon Rock Reptile Centre

Dragon Rock Reptile Centre is situated in the heart of the beautiful Drakensberg in Kwazulu Natal. We are a nature and reptile centre. We believe education is the most powerful weapon with which we can change the world around us. That is why we strive to educate people about the animals we have and animals in general. Combining the nature centre with our reptile centre we aim to send people home more aware of their environment.

Awesome experience with a truly knowledgeable guide. It's both entertaining and educational. We loved getting up close and personal with the animals and being a part of the experience in such a beautiful place. Highly recommended.
