If you are staying over night in the Zulu Village, this will
definitely broaden your horizons but not for the
average traveler as you will experience daily living
as it is.
As the day starts off you are taken to visit the
traditional healer ”Sangoma” and the visit to houses
will demonstrate basic living. The overview of
marriage and traditions will be discussed throughout
the day. In the afternoon a traditional meal and is
served, then time for the children to show you their
dancing skills and be sure you will be dancing and
singing by the end of it. Traditional beadwork is
available for purchase and as the evening unfolds
you will be introduced to your host family to drop
off your bags and then head out for a night in the
village. Partake in activities such as a visit to the
local Shebeen “informal drinking house”, sometimes
a bit of night fishing or just spend time with the
family and children. The evening dinner is normally
chicken and vegetables. Breakfast is egg sandwiches
and tea. If you are vegetarian please ensure the guide
and company are aware of it to ensure the family has
the necessary requirements.
