Pietermaritzburg

The capital and second-largest city in KwaZulu-Natal. Founded in 1838 it has come a long way from the quiet, colonial outpost it once was - it is now a modern city that is home to over 600 000 people of diverse cultures.

Pietermaritzburg is the "City of Choice" being only 45 minutes by road from Durban, Africa's Busiest port; one hour by road from The King Shaka International Airport; only 90 minutes from central Drakensberg resorts; it is an educational center of excellence being home to many excellent schools and tertiary education institutions, including the campus of UKZN.

It also hosts a number of great international events - the Comrades Marathon, the Duzi Marathon, the Midmar Mile, the Royal & Garden Show, Art & Cars in the Park, and International cycling events like the UCI BMX World Championships. 

Less than fifteen minutes from the CBD of Pietermaritzburg, the Victoria Country Club is superbly located in the scenic parklands adjoining the Queen Elizabeth Nature Reserve and boasts one of South Africa's most picturesque golfing venues and residential estates. The course and estate meander attractively through rolling terrain combining parkland and grassland habitats saturated with scenic beauty.
