If you are looking for a safe, adventurous and scenic activity to participate in, look no further than the new Green Corridors Shuttle Bus.
The four-day shuttle service takes you to some of the best getaway spots in Durban and to some of the city’s best kept secrets. Each of the four departure days offers a different Green Corridors destination.
Green Corridors has four great green options for people of all ages and the shuttle bus, guides and tours are all fully compliant with Covid-19 protocols. The journey starts at Durban’s Green Hub on the Umgeni River (near Blue Lagoon) at 8.30am (returning around 3pm), then hops from Durban beachfront hotel to hotel.
The itinerary is as follows:
Tuesday: Head off on the Wild Enanda/Enanda Dam trip. It includes uMzinyathi Falls, the Rastafarian Caves, canoeing eNanda adventures and eNanda Mountain.
Thursday: On Thursday, it’s Mqeku Tubing and Bum Slide, where you will visit the Valley of a 1000 Hills, enjoy the amazing views en route and then just ride the bum slide, take a tube ride or chill in the shady picnic site.
Friday: The itinerary is around Durban’s Waterfalls. You will travel from Paradise Valley Falls to Kloof Falls to uMzinyathi Falls – perfect for keen photographers, nature lovers and water babies.
Saturday: It’s the ‘Mnini Canoe and Hike’ trip, ideal for birdwatchers and peace seekers. This is a leisurely day, drifting along the Mnini Dam shores, or hiking through the deep river gorges.
Note that the tours will not mix people from different circles so that no group has strangers on the shuttle with them. Masks are compulsory and sanitizers will be provided on the shuttle and at all sites. Sites are community run and by visiting you help to support the local economy.
The Shuttle bus transport, guides and any entrance fees are included in the R400 per person – minimum of four persons for the tour to run. To book call 031 322 6026 or email frontdesk@greencorridors.africa
