WHILE many travellers want nothing more than to explore, money is tight for many due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Thankfully, travellers do not have to fork out a fortune when they yearn for a little escape. Some activities in South Africa are free.

Durban Art Gallery The Durban Art Gallery is one of the city’s oldest attractions, having opened in the early 1900s. The artworks support local artists and change every six to eight weeks. Located in the Durban City Hall building, at Anton Lembede Street in Durban Central, the gallery offers plenty to see. Tip: Use the entrance opposite The Playhouse Company.

Here are some fun and free things to do in Durban, Johannesburg and Cape Town:

uMhlanga Lagoon Nature Reserve Nestled among uMhlanga’s string of hotels and holiday homes, uMhlanga Lagoon Nature Reserve is perfect for those who love the outdoors. Try out their many hiking routes or take up the challenge to find the route to uMhlanga beach. If you are lucky, you may spot the blue duiker, the smallest antelope in South Africa. The reserve is great for bird watching, picnicking, trail running and self-guided walks. Free for those who want to explore on their own.
