I had promised to take the kids for a picnic at the Majik Forest only to wake up on the day to find pouring rain.

An area of the park has been equipped with children's play equipment, all very well laid out, and there is a large picnic area. I did not see any evidence of rowdy or drunken behaviour, no littering (there are bins, unlike Kirstenbosch) and they weren't overflowing so I assume that they are serviced regularly.

Apparently visitors are permitted to fish in the river and plenty of dogs were in evidence. See once the park is on an elevated slope in a clear-air zone I found it quite...
