KwaZulu-Natal’s brightest and merriest festive experience – the Durban Botanic Gardens Trail of Lights – is back, and it’s bigger and better than ever before! Photographer Peter de Groot visited the event to capture these stunning photos – a perfect mix of traditional Christmas scenes from Father Christmas, reindeer and candy canes – to terrific traditional themes in the ‘African Village’, including rhino, elephant and Zulu spears lit up spectacularly.
