Soccer Experience

On Sunday 20 June a bunch of enthusiastic Indunas gathered at the Shell Garage in Hazyview before departing for Mbombela Stadium to watch the Italy/New Zealand game. Everyone had on a bright yellow soccer shirt and those armed with a Vuvuzela made themselves heard loud and clear! We were a sight and sound to behold!

Our two Quantum mini-busses hit the road and it was great to see the spirit and excitement on fellow Sellow South Africans' faces. Now and again a spontaneous Vuvuzela contest would erupt as we passed other vehicles occupied by soccer fans. When we reached Nelspruit we made a very welcome pit stop for lunch at McDonald's. We each wolfed down a Big Mac, chips and Coke. Some of us decided that it would be a good idea to come prepared and acquire a set of ear plugs, and we all made sure we had an Italian flag painted somewhere on our faces, or in some cases, heads!

We parked at the Riverside Mall and made our way to the "Park-and-Ride" facility. Needless to say there were hundreds of others who were waiting for a ride to the stadium. Many were eccentrically dressed and most were proudly blowing on their Vuvuzelas in anticipation. We were impressed at the rate at which empty busses arrived to pick up loads of spectators and transport them to the stadium. Soon we were on our way! On arrival, the stadium was already buzzing with excitement and we made our way to our seats just in time to watch the teams warming up. Soon after, anthems were sung and the whistle blew. It was like being in a bee-hive! New-Zealand scored a goal during the first few minutes and things grew a bit more silent. It was no secret that most South Africans were rooting for Italy. Not long after Italy scored from a penalty and the stadium erupted all over again. Mexican waves ran through the crowds and Vuvuzela choruses chimed in.

In the end the game was a draw and we hurriedly left our seats to secure an early bus back to the mall. Everyone was talking excitedly about the game and the atmosphere was jovial. Soon we were on a bus and enthusiastic conversations continued between people of all colours and nationalities. In a way, a game of soccer had united us for a few hours- our common purpose to enjoy what our beautiful country has achieved despite the reservations of many. Well done South Africa!

A Scenic Balloon Flight

Getting out of bed in the early hours of the morning is what Kevin, our balloon pilot does. Every aspect of ballooning revolves around the weather, and it's the first thing Kevin checks every day.

Balloons flights take place at sunrise, in cool and stable air, so Kevin and the crew arrive in the dark, and get the balloon ready for inflation. By the time passengers arive coffee is ready, and they can watch the inflation, take pictures and enjoy the excitement.

Once airborne, passengers float above the valley, riverine forest, bush and orchards, small hills and hidden waterfalls. The distant views to the west are of the mountains, and to the east the landscape gradually flattens towards the sunrise. A balloon flight will always provide spectacular views, but remember - this is about the experience - nothing compares with a balloon flight!

When the balloon lands sparkling Cape wine is served to celebrate the flight in the champagne ballooning tradition. Afterwards passengers join the pilot at a nearby country lodge for breakfast, and the presentation of flight certificates.

We recommend casual clothes, with long pants and closed shoes. Once the sun rises, the day warms up quickly, so light clothing under the jacket is ideal.

Passengers can make their own way to the launch site or if they prefer, a transfer will be arranged.

White Water Rafting

White water is formed in a rapid, when a river's gradient suddenly drops resulting in unstable current and frothy water which appears white.

River difficulty grades range from 1 to 6. In a grade 6 river rafters can encounter substantial white water, many rocks and high drops.
