What To Expect
Meet a driver at the Richards Bay port, then make the 43-mile (70-km) trip to Shakaland in an air-conditioned coach. This vibrant cultural museum was created using the set of Shaka Zulu, a film that told the story of a Zulu warrior king. You can spend the day exploring Shakaland at your own pace, meeting the "villagers," learning about traditional medicine from the Sangoma healer, and try the Zulu beer that has been made for generations. Watch performances of drumming and dancing, then see shield making, weaving, spear demonstrations, and assagai, a traditional Zulu weapon that was used throughout the region. Shakaland is also the perfect place to purchase traditional beadwork, which is sold onsite. At the end of your time in Shakaland, pause for lunch, then begin the return trip to Richards Bay, where this tour concludes.
