Chill out for five days to the sounds of laid-back acoustic music in an awesome setting. Don’t miss the annual White Mountain Folk Festival held near Giant’s Castle in the beautiful Central Drakensberg region of KwaZulu-Natal. The festival offers an amazing line up of acoustic performances by some of the country’s finest established and up-and-coming artists, ranging from Syd Kitchen to the Hairy Legged Lentil Eaters. There's also a choice of camping, caravanning and chalet accommodation, plus outdoor activities for the whole family.
Attractions include hiking, boating and bass fishing, arts and crafts, a beer market featuring several local breweries, assorted food stalls and fun kids’ entertainment. For the more adventurous, there’s abseiling down a 45m cliff face or a fuffi slide across a nearby 100m-wide gorge, with helicopter flips also available if the weather permits. Alternatively you can simply relax outdoors and soak up the peaceful beauty of one of the most idyllic spots in the Berg.
