What you can expect

Experience day-to-day rural Zulu life in northern KwaZulu-Natal on a guided walking tour through a rural community near Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park. Start the day with a 3-4 hour early morning safari into the Big 5 Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park. Then pay the local KwaSmolo Community a visit outside the park where you will experience completely “unscripted” community visit. There is no schedule, no start time, all visits are completely random and so the community will never know when a group may pass through. We do it this way so that you see and experience people going about their day-to-day lives as naturally as possible.

During this guided walk you will visit a local primary school, the community “Sangoma” (Spirtual Healer), the Shembe Temple and pop in at the local “Spaza” or corner cafe/store where some daily basic essentials are bought by the locals. Once back at the start/end point you will enjoy some local community hospitality with a traditional “Shisanyama” or BBQ for lunch while being entertained with some interactive traditional Zulu dancing by members of the community youth dance group.

Rounding off this exciting day you'll head back into Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park for a 3-4 hour afternoon safari drive before being dropped off back at your accommodation in Hluhluwe or St Lucia.
