The trail
A garden of light on the North Coast
For the festive season the grounds of Haven of Rest in Tongaat turn into a trail of light. Trees are wrapped trunk to branch in red, green, blue, violet and warm white, and glowing giraffes, elephants, rhinos and reindeer wait along the way.
Walk it at your own pace with the family. It's the first time an event like this has come to the North Coast.
