TOUR DESCRIPTIONS:
 FACE
TO FACE - ZULU VILLAGE - This tour is only available Monday
to Friday only.
Join a community in the Valley of a 1000 Hills where guests are encouraged
to ask many questions, as possible as the level of participation by you
could make this one of your best experiences ever as the life of a 21st
century Zulu Village unfolds before you.
As there are over 900"umuzi" {households} there is much to do.
A visit to the Traditional healer "Sangoma" and an understanding
of the marriage process are some of the fundamentals to learn but daily
life involves tending livestock, gathering wood and water while harvesting
crops. The aim is to give guests the opportunity to experience Zulu Culture
in a way that very few will and every day is different. A traditional lunch
is served and then it is time to enjoy some traditional Zulu dancing. A
display of beadwork is available for purchase. Please note this is a reality
based experience and not a commercially constructed village. The walking
will require a 
basic level of fitness but can be done at any pace as this is Africa, no
time constraints as everything works on African time.

many animals as possible. The park has a large abundance of antelope species
and is famous for the rehabilitation of Rhinoceros  populations.
Birds are always present and many large eagle species can be seen. The various
rivers in the park help with attracting the elephants which if we lucky
we can try catch up with a breeding herd or maybe just a lonely bull or
two.
Using the parks facilities guests will have an opportunity
to stretch legs and get some lunch. We use the few remaining
hours to catch up with any animals that we may have not seen.

up and then back to Durban arriving at 7pm.
