Today is all about context, immersion and relevance. We will start where all things should, at the beginning. Meet the dancing curator of Phansi Museum who will introduce you to a vast collection of indigenous art and crafts before sampling Pan African Cuisine. Time to head to Isithumba — a living Zulu cultural village. A local resident will help you to explore the village on foot as you begin to understand a different way of life. If the ancestors are kind you may even meet the village chief or the local spiritual healer for an immersive exchange. The Markets of Warwick are our final stop. This curious quarter represents the beating heart of indigenous culture. Meet the Lime and Imphepho Gogos (female elders) and watch them create their goods before you witness the culture shock that is Muthi Bridge or as we like to call it — “Sangoma Central”. Unlock this mysterious place and get a feel for where the culture is heading.

We went to the Pansi museum. Then we went to the village where our guide explained what life was like living in the village and what it was like to live there. Then we had lunch in the village supervisors house. He answered all our questions and we came away knowing exactly the hardships that the Zulus face. We were in awe at their resilience. We then went to the tribal markets with another friendly and knowledgeable guide. Thank you for a wonderful tour.

I was working in Durban for a few months and met a lot of Zulu people and  wanted to learn a bit more about the culture. I booked the Zulu Cultural Tour because it didn’t sound like a typical tourist trap (I had been to Phezulu and it wasn’t for me). Thabo was my guide and he started by taking me to a museum in Durban with a collection of indigenous art and craft. I met the curator, a wonderful and knowledgeable Swazi woman, who showed me around and told me more about the history and beliefs. From there we went Isithumba for a walking tour of the village. I got to go inside 2 houses, met people from the village and learnt more about their culture. Would have loved to spend more time there maybe even 1 night (which you can do). We had pap, chakalaka and shisanyama for lunch before we came back to Durban … I’m going to really miss this place. AMAZING and AUTHENTIC TOUR!
