Twinstreams is the oldest environmental education centre in KwaZulu-Natal and has developed a fine sense of place over the years. It has come a long way since its original tented camp on the banks of the Amanzimnyama stream but great care has always been taken to maintain its unique and personal character.
Mick's Park is a large open-air venue set under the canopy of several mature flat-crown and yellowwood trees with ringside seats around a smouldering fire. There is also a lecture area covered with a high, curved roof and open sides to keep the atmosphere of being in a forest. This venue can seat 60 people (auditorium-style) or 30 around tables. The latest addition to the Twinstreams stable of facilities - Sinkwe Centre - is a further 100m into the forest and has been designed to blend into the enclosing bush. It has a modern air-conditioned conference centre which opens out onto a spacious deck set under the spreading branches of a Pod Mahogany Tree (Afzelia quanzensis).
For school groups, Twinstreams offers some of the best environmental education opportunities available in South Africa, excursions and activities include team building, orienteering, research projects or more fun activities such as canoeing, night walks and even a beach sleep out!
Twinstreams also makes the ideal venue for those wishing to have a large private gathering in unusual surroundings. Their facilities can be rented for functions such as weddings, parties, family get-togethers.
I really like the image that you've included with this post!
