There might not be any cracks in your "bromance" but that doesn't mean a bonding vacation with your buddies isn't in order. If you're still stuck on "bromance" think Mathew McConaughey and Lance Armstrong, or Brad Pitt and George Clooney, not Brokeback. Read on for quick vacation ideas to take when you want it to be just you and the boys. Just pick one and get going.

Fishing

This is kind of old school and a bit "father and son" but time spent fishing with your friends is a good way of bonding. You'll get to find out what's up with more than beer as the main focus. Stories flow easily and if you’re catching 'safe' fish, then the reward is a great dinner of fresh fish.

KwaZulu-Natal is awesome for fishing. The various locations for fishing include Albert Falls Public Resort near Pietermaritzburg, Hazelmere Dam near Verulam, and Goedetrou Dam near Eshowe. Make sure you go for fish species that are not endangered. Download a pocket guide as Southern African Sustainable Seafood Initiative.

4x4 mud play

If you and your mates are the outdoorsy types then racing in the mud might just be up your alley. The added bonus of this 4x4 trip is the competition. Finishing the race course isn’t just about overcoming nature, it's also about beating one of your friends to the finish.

KwaZulu-Natal has many trails of varying difficulty and operators will help you design your weekend away with minimum fuss. These trails include Cetshwayo's Retreat, Sani Plaas, and Eagles View trail. Just click here for more information.

Golf travel

A golf weekend with just the guys means your other half won't be worried about what you're up to as you enjoy the greens. Remember that the choice of course, according to the group's ability, will determine how much fun you'll have.

The Amanzimtoti golf course in Durban is not too challenging for beginners. Actually, it's perfect for a guys' only vacation that isn't as much about sport as it is about fun. The 18-hole course is perfectly flat and ready for an easy play off that nobody will feel compelled to lie about.

Casino fun

To fully enjoy you and your friends need to make sure you all have a set budget. And stick to it if you want to avoid a huge fight with your other half.

You can either go to the Sibaya Casino or the Sun Coast Casino and Entertainment. They are both populated with slot machines, game tables and private gaming rooms. As long as you don't think you're in Vegas, you'll be fine.
