Click here for isiZulu version
The Weekend Getaway is a greatly anticipated annual feature on the UKZN Alumni Relations programme.
This year, the event took place over the last weekend of November and was held at The Estuary Hotel and Spa at Port Edward on the KZN South Coast. The 40 attendees (many of whom are regular supporters of the event) enjoyed the comfortable accommodation and abundant food at the Hotel. The highlights included the boat trip on the Umtamvuna River with spectacular views of the massive cliff faces and the landmark bridge as well as the absorbing and educational tour of a local banana farm followed by a lunch on the premises.
This annual event is extremely popular with alumni and is an excellent opportunity to reunite with fellow alumni, make friends and get updated on University activities. All attendees received UKZN branded hats and gifts, bags and the most recent alumnus magazine (UKZNTouch). The 2024 adventure will be advertised in February 2024 and graduates are encouraged to book early.
