The Nelson Mandela Capture Site was very educational. The history, apartheid of both Negros, and Indians people.
Thank you for your review Marty! I hope South Africa won't see the last of you. Safe travels.
Excellent guide in Sheldon. He was knowledgeable and provided the information that we sought. Allowed us to explore at our own pace and interacted well with the local people at the various sites so was obviously well respected by them. Interesting places and people gave us a great, but brief, insight into Zulu culture and history. Terry O'Connell
Thank you so much for your review! Safe travels, Shelldon
Mpume had us captivated from start to finish. Her knowledge and passion of the Zulu culture in every word ! What a fresh way to experience the Zulu culture in a real setting and not in an open air museum. I will be back. A Most enjoyable experience.
Sheldon was a great guide. He told us so much great information about Zulu history and culture. We went with some business associates and everyone enjoyed the day.
Thanks so much for your review, I'm glad you enjoyed your day :)
