The province of KwaZulu Natal offers an extraordinary plethora of landscapes and terrain - with the Indian Ocean to one side and the Drakensberg mountain range running through the middle there is a variety of amazing experiences on hand. From lush game reserves spotted with luxury lodges on the northern border with Mozambique, to the gently rolling landscapes of the Midlands, reminiscent of England - it is a small miracle that this area of South Africa has remained off the beaten tourist path.

KwaZulu Natal offers a much more authentic and untamed experience of South Africa than is available in popular destinations such as Kruger National Park and the Garden Route. The best time to visit this area of South Africa for a cultural immersion into Zulu life and culture at it’s most vibrant is in September when thousands of maidens march along the roads to the King of the Zulu nation’s royal residence at KwaNyokeni Palace in celebration of the Annual Zulu Reed Festival.

By taking this cultural tour of South Africa that includes the Annual Zulu Reed Festival, you see the real country at it’s most authentic - not a slick and carefully constructed composite of its best bits designed to tick visitors’ boxes and ensure the tips of the guides. You meet the real people of the country, hear what they have to say and ask what you want to ask.

Let the beat of the Reed Festival drums infuse you with a  simple magic found only in this wild and untamed land. For more information please visit our tour page for the Cultural Exploration of KwaZulu-Natal!
