Hi Everyone

January – the month of good intentions!  By the time you receive this newsletter your resolutions will be in full swing, or a thing of the past.  Either way, here’s hoping that 2012 delivers you everything you hope for and a little more.
With that in mind, we are offering you a little something more – our spa packages now include all soft drinks, wine and beer.  After all, relaxing on the deck or next to the fire is not the same without a drink of sorts.

Valentine's Day the iNsingizi Way I know the Christmas decorations have only just been put away, but it really is time to start thinking of romance and how to ensure this Valentine's Day is remembered for the romance and thought, not the over-priced roses and slightly dented box of chocolates. iNsingizi has put together a weekend of pampering, great food and the chance to spend some quality time with that special person in your life – so book now, as we have limited availability (don’t think you want to share for this one).

Join the Winning Walkers The Wining Walkers are still going strong and although 2011 saw more wining than walking – the weather you know (amazing how Thursdays seemed to be the rainy day of the week – oh no, hang on - everyday was rainy!!). So, if you are feeling like a little exercise, some fresh air and a light scrumptious supper, please join them – the more the merrier. Check our facebook page for details or phone us on 031 7811767!  Booking is essential if you are going to join us for supper.

Keeping Fit and Giving Back While on the subject of walking, we are pleased to announce that we were able to hand over R2000.00 to the Mid Illovo Conservancy after our first iNsingizi Trail run. So, never ones to let the grass grow under our feet or, for that matter, on our trails - we are planning a 3 race series this year.  We know you are keen, but you will have to wait awhile, as the first race will be in June (less chance of rain).  All the information will be on the ROAG website and bookings will take place, once again, directly through ROAG.

Put your 2012 Business Plan Together January is so often the start of new things, but have you planned for the year ahead?  If not, there really is no time like the present. Pack up your staff and head out to the “bush” to put together your business plan for the year.  Only 45min from Pietermaritzburg and an hour from Durban makes iNsingizi the ideal day-away conference venue.  The sound of birds will replace the telephone, and trees will replace the grey drab building next door!  Now, if that doesn’t help inspire you, then best you book in for the night.  You obviously need a spa!!

Magical Weddings at iNsingizi Weddings are playing a bigger and bigger part in our lives at iNsingizi and the end of 2011 saw a number of wonderful weddings.  It never ceases to amaze me how each bride manages to completely change the look and feel of the Lodge to create their magical day.  To see how gorgeous our brides looked – follow this link to our facebook page – you won’t be disappointed.  2012 has a number of weddings booked already and we look forward to sharing these special days with the bridal couple, friends and families.  If you want to know more about weddings at iNsingizi contact us on info@insingizi.co.za
