The Herts Nomads began their tour of KZN at Umgeni Waterfall Bowling Club where they played bowls against members of Hilton, Howick and Umgeni Waterfall Bowling Clubs. They also enjoyed brief visits to the Mandela Monument and to Howick Falls.
Their bowls matches continued at The Nest where they played against teams from KZN Country District. From The Nest, the Nomads also enjoyed a tour of the Battlefields and a visit to the Drakensberg Boys'Choir. They then had a respite from bowls while enjoying a short break on the shores of Jozini Dam with safaris to Mkuze, Hluhluwe and Umfolozi Game Reserves.
Their bowls matches in KZN ended with a match at Northlands Bowling Club where the substantial amount raised for two charities in the Howick area was revealed.
On the last day of their stay in KZN, they were offered the hospitality of Durban City Tour Experience by Durban Tourism. This included an informative tour of Durban in the converted double decker bus now known as the Durban Ricksha Bus, a stop at the Victoria Market and a visit to uShaka Marine World with free entry to the aquarium. A fair reward for their generosity.
