Activity Based Adventures

Zulu Kingdom offers a unique opportunity to experience Zululand in a manner most visitors never get to see - a wide range of activity based adventures that involve the local communities and keep you busy without needing to venture out.

Zululand; “The World in one province” has a diversity of unique packages available. We offer these packages, with aid of local communities and the respective lodges. Activities are arranged under the supervision of qualified guides.

The community training and mentoring is part of our contribution to the Mamaafrika initiative whereby we aim to empower the communities to start up their own tourism ventures.  Many young eager students take part in this “strengthening” of their cultural villages and play an integral part in these community projects/initiatives.

		Wildlife ing 338 species of mammals that, of course, includes the “BIG FIVE” (elephant, rhinoceros (black and white), lion, leopard and the buffalo)
		Nunu ing There are hundreds of reptiles and literally thousands of insect species and some 5000 species of spiders and scorpions.  Watching and following the unique Dung beetle and their amazing journey is one of these adventures
		Fish ing Over 2000 species of fish, like the Tiger fish (one of the BIG SIX).  This species is one of the most aggressive of all freshwater predatory fish.  The “take/strike” of one of these will have adrenalin pumping through your veins.
		Stargaze ing Spend an evening with a blanket on the African soil, staring up at the beautiful African sky, picnics and drinks are served all with the desire in mind to keep light at a minimum so that the stars can be viewed at their best.  Looking up at the stars is still a rewarding pursuit.
		Sounds of the Night ing An evening listening to the incredible African sounds of the night, whether they are frog, birds, or hyenas.
		Bird ing More than 600 of South Africa's 900 odd bird species can be seen in KwaZulu Natal.  Much of this birdlife is rarely seen in other parts of South Africa.
		Turtle ing Loggerhead and Leatherback turtles were once almost extinct along the Maputaland coast, but thanks to conservation efforts their numbers are increasing
		Nguni Cattle and Traditional Herd ing Nguni cattle have evolved in South Africa in pre-colonial times, as small, early maturing, docile and disease resistant multi purpose cattle, which attained a high cultural importance, particularly among the Zulu.  The cattle remain central in traditional Zulu life.
