September is Heritage Month in South Africa, a time to celebrate the people, places and traditions that make our country special.

It also happens to be the beginning of spring, making it a great excuse to gather the family, get outdoors and enjoy a few days away. Set in Hartbeespoort along the Crocodile River and surrounded by the Magaliesberg landscape, Mount Amanzi combines comfortable accommodation, plenty to do and space to simply enjoy being together.

Here are five reasons to make it your Heritage Month destination.

1. It’s made for family time

Heritage Month is a great opportunity to bring different generations together, and Mount Amanzi offers plenty of ways to spend that time.

The resort has a variety of recreational facilities, including swimming pools, mini-golf, tennis, fishing, a games room and other activities that can keep both active and more leisurely holidaymakers entertained.

The best part? Nobody needs to do everything together. Spend the morning pursuing different interests and meet up again later to compare stories from the day.

2. You can enjoy a proudly South African braai

September wouldn’t feel quite the same without at least one afternoon around the braai.

Mount Amanzi’s self-catering chalets include private braai areas, so you can bring along the family favourites and enjoy one of South Africa’s best-loved ways of getting people together.

Heritage Month is also the perfect opportunity to pull out those recipes that have become part of your family’s celebrations over the years. Who’s making the potato salad and braai broodjies?

3. Spring has arrived in Hartbeespoort

Heritage Month coincides with the start of spring, and warmer days mean more opportunities to enjoy Mount Amanzi’s outdoor surroundings.

The resort is situated along the Crocodile River and surrounded by the natural beauty of the Magaliesberg area. Take your morning coffee outside, spend some time walking around the resort or find a spot to sit and enjoy the change of season. Sometimes a holiday doesn’t need a packed itinerary.

4. There are plenty of ways to treat yourself

A Heritage Month getaway can include a little indulgence too.

Mbali Day Spa at Mount Amanzi offers a selection of treatments for guests looking to add some proper relaxation to their stay.

If cooking isn’t on the agenda, The Old Kitchen Restaurant serves bistro-style meals, while the Pavilion Bar near the swimming pools offers somewhere to enjoy something cold. It means you can alternate between busy family days and doing very little at all.

5. It’s an easy escape from Gauteng

You don’t always need to travel halfway across the country to feel as though you’ve had a proper break. Mount Amanzi’s location makes it a convenient getaway for visitors travelling from Gauteng, while still offering the change of scenery that makes a few days away feel worthwhile.

Pack the family, leave the usual routine behind and make the most of the September weather.

Make Heritage Month about time together

South African heritage is incredibly diverse, and every family has its own traditions, stories and ways of celebrating. A Heritage Month getaway doesn’t need to tell you how to celebrate yours. It simply gives you the time and space to enjoy them.

Whether that means a family braai, an afternoon beside the pool, a fiercely competitive round of mini-golf or simply sitting together and catching up, Mount Amanzi provides the setting.

This September, celebrate Heritage Month with good company, beautiful surroundings and a little more time for each other at Mount Amanzi.
