Savanna Premium Cider is making its boldest statement yet, taking over the Hollywoodbets Durban July weekend from Friday, 4 July, to Sunday, 6 July, with The Weekend of Marvels — an exclusive celebration of fashion, comedy, crisp cider, and the people who make Mzansi magical.
With three premium moments planned, Savanna is redefining “premium” with its signature crisp, dry humour and a flair for style. From the golden-hour Savanna Pre‑Race Affair to the trackside Neat Speakeasy and a laid‑back Sunday Soiree, every experience is designed to honor the true Marvels of Mzansi.
A New Level of VVIP
The weekend kicks off Friday with the Savanna Pre‑Race Affair, hosted at the luxurious Savanna Manor — an exclusive haven for the brand’s most valued guests. Expect golden‑hour glam, crisp cider served neat, and comedy cameos to set the tone for a weekend unlike any other.
