What to expect

The tour starts from your hotel in Durban and proceeds to Pietermaritzburg - the capital of KwaZulu-Natal and named after Piet Mauritus Retief. You will have the opportunity to see attractions such as the city hall as the city has the most historical buildings of the British architecture. You will then proceed to the Nelson Mandela Capture Site which is where Nelson Mandela was captured and sent into his incarceration, and nearby is a museum where his life is laid out. The tour then proceeds to the Howick Falls otherwise known as "the place of the tall one". The waterfall is a 95m cascade into a pool that the locals believe to be a place of spirits of the ancestors.

To conclude the tour, you will be taken to The Valley of a Thousand Hills where you will experience the Zulu culture and Zulu dance at Phezulu Cultural Village . You can venture into the traditional Zulu Huts where various artefacts, beliefs and rituals are explained. You will then conclude the tour with a visit to the Reptile Park where a qualified park guide will intrigue you with interesting facts about the resident crocodiles and exotic reptiles, before returning to Durban.
