SOUTH AFRICA
AFRICA
|
Resting in the foothills of the mighty Drakensberg on the quiet open flood plains of the tempestuous Klip River lies Ladysmith and its small neigbouring town of Colenso. In the past century and a half, these two towns have witnessed various struggles and are surrounded by the mysteries and ghosts of times gone by. Screams of man and beast, gunfire and clanking metal invaded the tranquility - setting the course for the birth of a new South Africa. Ladysmith & Colenso are historic and cultural gems, offering unique, different and refreshing experiences. Ladysmith and Colenso's claim to fame has always been a rich historic heritage with literally hundreds of historical sites.
The 6 000 ha Spioenkop Nature Reserve, situated only 25 km from Ladysmith, is home to various species of wildlife including rhino, giraffe, zebra, a variety of antelope and an abundance of bird life. Birdwatchers are well catered for, with the Malendeni Bird Sanctuary with 263 species of bird recorded at the maturation ponds and surrounding flooded areas.
A vibrant and friendly town, Ladysmith, is the home of world famous superstars, Ladysmith Black Mambazo.
