If you’re looking for grand scenery and experience of the great outdoors then, according to members of Team #FinishTime, Swadini, A Forever Resort is the place you need to go. Our race timers were mind-blown by the breathtaking beauty of the Blyde River Canyon Nature Reserve, and have vowed to go back in a non-working capacity the first chance they get to check out some of the natural wonders of the area, such as God’s…

When Team #FinishTime is heading to East London and they are looking for a home-away-from-home environment, we head to Oom Daan’s BnB.
