If you’re searching for a day-trip destination, we can help out. Sitting 35 miles away, Howick is worth the drive. Among your first stops here ought to be Howick Golf Club, Midmar Dam and Nelson Mandela Capture Site Monument. The locals are also likely to point you toward Pietermaritzburg, 40 miles away. If you only see one thing here, make sure it’s Golden Horse Casino. (But we’re also big fans of Pietermaritzburg City Hall and Comrades Marathon House.)
