Dumazulu Cultural Village

Approx. Time: 8 hours
Activity Level: Moderate

DumaZulu meaning “the Thundering Zulu”, is located in the heart of Zululand’s Kwa-Zulu Natal region, near Hluhluwe village, directly on the main tourist route (N2 highway), between the Kruger National Park and Durban. DumaZulu is conveniently surrounded by the famous Hluhluwe-Umfolozi, Mkuzi and St. Lucia parks (the home of the white rhino), making it the ideal place for a combined game viewing and cultural experience. Game drives into the surrounding parks may be booked directly at DumaZulu.
World renowned and respected anthropologist, Graham Stewart, manages and conducts daily cultural tours of DumaZulu and has been closely associated with the Zulu nation, their culture and heritage since 1967. His Zulu team has strived to authentically capture customs and traditions practiced during the reign of the famous Zulu King Shaka. DumaZulu is the only cultural kraal in Zululand to have been personally opened by a Zulu King, his majesty King Goodwill Zwelethini kaBhekuzulu, a direct descendant of King Shaka Zulu, bestowing a great honour upon the Kraal and thus placing the Royal Zulu seal of approval on the kraal’s authenticity and objectives.
The Kraal residents form part of the “Living museum” and carry out age old manufacturing traditions including spear, shield and clay pot making, basket weaving, intricate bead work and Sangoma bone throwing. The cultural experience culminates in spectacular and vibrant Zulu dancing. Adjacent to the Krral is the main dining area, Shebeen (bar), a Zulu artifact curio shop, an indigenous snake pit and a crocodile park with one of the largest crocodiles measuring 4 meters and weighing 350 kilograms.
