Don’t Miss the Special Celebrations at Crocworld Conservation Centre this Heritage Day!

Don’t Miss the Special Celebrations at Crocworld Conservation Centre this Heritage Day!

South Africa’s incredible wildlife is central to its heritage, which is why Crocworld Conservation Centre on the KZN South Coast is the perfect spot to celebrate Heritage Day on Wednesday, 24 September! Visitors are encouraged to come in traditional attire that reflects their heritage, with great specials and live music by saxophonist Jerry Kunene from 12pm to 2pm.

“It’s quite fitting that Heritage Day falls within Tourism Month because South Africa’s natural heritage is such an important part of its tourism offerings,” commented Susan Badat Crocworld Centre Manager. “There’s no better place to celebrate South Africa’s heritage than among our wildlife in the beautiful coastal forest setting of Crocworld. Alongside the live music and meal specials, visitors can stop by our Barnyard section to visit our springtime baby goats and give some welcoming hugs to our baby rabbits!”

Heritage Day Celebrations

Badat added that all visitors who dress up in traditional gear for Heritage Day will get a free slushi from the on-site Fish Eagle Café and a 10% discount on all restaurant meals of R100 or more. There will also be great South African meals on offer to really bring Heritage Day to life.

From 12pm to 2pm, renowned local saxophonist Jerry Kunene will be entertaining the crowds with his signature sound. Boasting global experience, Jerry worked with Mbongeni Ngema on the Township Fever Musical in New York, as well as alongside the African Jazz Pioneers, the late Sipho Gumede, Brian Thusi, The Key Notes, Darius Burbeck, Jonathan Ngema, Theo Bophela, Dudley Dlamini, James Mbambo, and Clarence Khumalo.

Despite his background allowing for no formal musical education, Jerry’s talent was unstoppable. Through a series of trial and error, he experimented with sounds whenever he found a moment to practice. Completely self-taught, Jerry has enjoyed a hugely successful career, visiting eight countries and collaborating with some of the biggest names in music.

On Heritage Day and building up to the school holidays, visitors can look forward to so much entertainment at Scottburgh’s Crocworld:

•  Daily animal interactions and fascinating feeding demonstrations.

•  Meeting iconic crocodile residents like Henry, the world’s oldest known Nile crocodile in captivity at 124 years old, as well as his long-time friend, Colgate.

•  Strolling through lush coastal forest teeming with birdlife, with more than 200 local species to spot.

•  Taking in panoramic ocean views from the award-winning Fish Eagle Café, which offers great refreshments and meals for the whole family.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.  We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa.  Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation?  Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose. 

Expensive is not always better.  Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday.  They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice.  A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday. 

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance.  Of these, service is the most important. 

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion.  However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review.  We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience?  The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table. 

Well that’s our theory anyway.  It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced.  However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience.  In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe.  It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
