My friend Marco and me went down to Durban to explore the things to do in Durban and some more sights in Kwazulu-Natal. As usual I tried to mix sightseeing in South Africa with some cool activities, such as the big rush, a multi day trek in the Drakensberg mountains or a Segway tour in Durban.
For doing all this we rented a car and drive through the region for about 10 days with activities booked a few weeks ahead.
You can use this guide to prepare and plan your own trip to this region, therefore I included all Spots and companies we used along the way.

Shakaland Zulu Cultural Day Tour from Durban
Country and Coastal Touring are tour operators and guides based int he city of Durban, South Africa. We offer a range of different day tours from Durban including Zulu cultural tours.
About 90 north of Durban lies the oldest European town in Zululand, the town of Eshowe. Nearby the town is KwaBulawayo where King Shaka began his rule.
Just past Eshowe lies Shakaland. Shakaland was originally a film set created for the 1980's TV production, Shaka Zulu. Once filming was complete the entire Zulu village was handed to the local community to run as a tourist destination.
The Zulu people are the largest indigenous group in South Africa and still practice their traditions and customs. Shakaland has become one of the best (if not the best) sites in South Africa to learn more about these proud people.
On a Shakaland day tour from Durban, visitors will get to learn more about the Zulu people, their history, traditions and cultures. They'll get to learn more about the roles the chiefs, Sangomas and Inyangas perform.
Shakaland also puts on what is in our estimation, the best Zulu dance show in South Africa. Not only is Zulu dancing celebrated, but the dances of other African cultures is performed. There is also traditional artwork and beadwork for sale.
Lunch is a buffet where guests can not only enjoy roast and veg, but can try local South African favorites such as samp and beans.
If you're traveling to South Africa and want to experience the best in Zulu culture then book a tour to Shakaland with us.

Shakaland Zulu village, South Africa
Shakaland Zulu village, South Africa 2003
Shakaland Zulu cultural village is a unique resort built amid thorn trees and aloes that was originally the set of the movie Shaka Zulu, which documented the life of the most influential leader of the Zulu empire. Shaka Zulu was credited with uniting many of the Northern Nguni people through military genius. Several authentic Zulu kraals were constructed for the film, but were all set alight after the shoot bar one, that of Shaka's father and today, Shakaland.

Travel around Durban with m; whenever I travel somewhere far I’m often asked where Durban is so I took it upon myself to make this video just to show the world how life is in Durban. The best thing about Durban is that there is no such a thing as a super cold winter however it does get cold at night but you can still have fun at the beach during the day. Watch out for the boob sweat and the sharks too. Welcome to the Kingdom of the Zulus this is the place I call home. ♥ Thanks for stopping by ♥

Wonderful Zulu Kingdom, with its Durban Gateway
Mr. Bongani Mthiyane from Tourism KwaZulu-Natal (Zulu Kingdom), speaks to the Mole about their South African province of KwaZulu-Natal a multi-cultural showpiece destination by the warm Indian Ocean on the east, with Durban as its gateway city. Showcasing Zulu tradition, linked to the legendary Zulu kings KwaZulu-Natal is also proud of its coastal iSimangaliso (Greater St Lucia) Wetland Park World Heritage Site; the mountainous 'Barrier of Spears' uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park World Heritage Site, with its Stone Age cave paintings.
The Mole found most Interesting South Africa's democracy movement had its beginnings in KwaZulu-Natal, Durban. This is where Mandela found his mentors and Mahatma Gandhi, yes Gandhi, started his career, leading the expansive Indian immigrant population towards gaining basic rights. Also interesting, the Zulu Kings managed to repel colonization by the Portuguese and others...
While Durban overlooking Africa's busiest picture-postcard seaport and beaches, it is a favorite for tourists city for those seeking sophisticated fine dining and entertainment, before heading on to explore KwaZulu-Natal's great outdoors - from wave riders to hang-gliders, and golfers to mountain bikers; their Big Five nature; unique arts and crafts; battlefields of yesteryear between Zulu, Boer and British.
