A great time exploring a profound culture

The entire tour was great. Bule was very friendly, amenable, patient and flexible. he shared a lot about Durban and the places we were visiting. Visiting the Zulu village was a fascinating experience, the reptile park was very cool and the city tour was also very interesting. Would definitely recommend if you want an authentic taste of Durban!

Zulu and Durban

Our guide Bule had a lot of great information about the various sights we saw both at the Zulu village and the various sights in Durban. I came away with a better understanding of the local history and culture. Definitely a great way to spend the day!!!

Great tour with Bule!!

We really enjoyed the Zulu Village tour and learning about the traditions, as well as seeing the tribal dances. The reptile tour with the crocodiles and snakes was also very cool. Going back into the city was very interesting to see Durban sites and the Victoria market, but our favorite was the botanical gardens there. If you are very interested in the Apartheid museum and Victoria market, best not to schedule on a Sunday as the museum is closed and the market closes fairly early that day. We really enjoyed Bule and his sharing with us about the traditions of the Zulu and wish him best of luck with getting his first 11 cows!

Don't waste your money! The itinerary is misleading. It identifies 2 hours at each of these locations, the Safari Park(Cultural Show) and the Valley of a 1000 Hills. The locations are one and the same. The Shopping experience was less than desirable. The driver indicated the tour would end at 2 pm, although the itinerary shows 8 hours and 15 minutes of tour time. I complained to the driver, and he adjusted so that we could at least see those landmarks listed. The cultural village show is weak; time could be better spent doing something else.

Great day tour!

This was a brilliant trip. Picked up by the lovely Bule from our h guesthouse and then spent the day visiting the following: PheZulu cultural village, reptile park and city tour. The Zulu talks and dance demonstration were great - very interesting. The Reptile park, although small, was also interesting and we had a lively hide take us around and talk to us about the reptiles. The Bule took us in a drive tour around Durban where we saw a lot! He was very informative and explained a lot to us - including some Zulu words. We were the only people on this trip and as such it was much more personal. Brilliant day - thank you :)

Operator response

Thanks for choosing us to care of you, for the experience and hope to host you again next time you are in Durban We will also make sure that we tell Bule about the amazing job he did with you guys So thank once again for the wonderful review
