Mothers Day in Durban

Mothers Day in Durban – pretty much like mothers day anywhere else hey?  Except not really because we LOVE our country AND our town of Durban …. and its moms.

I am dedicating this post to my mom. Of course, she is the BEST mom in the world!!!

what to do for Mothers Day ??

This is the question!

We have something amazing at Zulumoon Gondolas – the perfect way to celebrate Mothers Day in Durban. From a simple relaxing gondola boat ride to all the bells and whistles – there is something unqiue you can do to spoil your mom on Mothers day right here in Durban. One of our most popular and signature packages is the message in a bottle gondola ride.

Here you get to send us your special personal message for your mom who will discover this in a floating bottle during her ride. How different and memorable. She will get to take the bottle and message back home as a wonderful memory of your time together.

What do you think of when someone says the word, mom? For me, it’s a kaleidoscope of memories and things …. from delicious brownies to lazy Saturday morning scrambled eggs done only the way your mom can.

Mothers day is one that just seems to sneak up on us all –  BUT every time I have made an effort to do something special for my mom on Mother’s day I have been richly rewarded with memories I will cherish forever. I think life is just too rushed and trying to fit everything in can be daunting.
