Unforgettable cave paintings
The day was full of experiences. Architecture, nature, hiking, waterfall, museum, history and ancient art - very varied program. You will be pleasantly tired by the end of the day and say 'It was worth doing it'. Not a lazy day:-). You go back 4 000 years in time... The cave paintings were the highlights of the day. Sotiris, our guide was helpful, informative and provided a pleasant day for us. We have good memories. Recommended.

It was a wonderful...
It was a wonderful experience, and my guide, Freddy, was friendly and knowledgeable about the area, the people, and history. I do recommend him for your tours.

Bule made a wet & dreary trip fun and thought provoking
Despite the drizzling rain that soaks into the skin and bones, Bule made our trip fantastically good! He is knowledgeable and forever patient with a large dose of good humour poured in. Both the Phezulu Traditional experience - the marriage storytelling and dance were funny (despite the language barrier) and so intricate; and the Mandela Capture site - thought provoking; deeply moving and captivating - are must sees. But the unexpected highlight was the Howick Falls - our last stop - what a beauty and the stories shared by Bule had us astounded but laughing.
Thank you for a wonderful day Bule!
The only drawback is that as its a full day tour, Zulu Safaris should schedule in a stop for lunch or a snack break, to refresh energies to continue our explorations.

My driver "Fortune" and guide "Promise" were awesome!
Great, interesting. It's a pretty demanding one and a half hour climb up to the rock paintings, but you can go at your own pace. The area was pretty brown because it was almost winter, but that valley is very beautiful with green grass and flowers in the summertime.

We had a wonderful day...
We had a wonderful day learning about Durban, the Zulu culture, and experiencing the capture site and history. Our guide was prompt, friendly and very informative. We highly recommend 1st Zulu Safari tours!

Excelente day out
Mandela capture site is well worth a visit. The drakensburg park is beautiful but the treck is not for the less able or older people

Fantastic day with Freddy
Freddy was very knowledgable. He took pictures of us at the different sites, and now we have wonderful memories to look back on.

Long Day but Worth Every Moment
My guide, Fortune, was amazing. He allowed me to go at my pace. Never during the tour did I feel rushed. I have a deeper understanding of Zulu culture and saw some beautiful sites in nature. Take your time at the Mandela Capture Site Museum. It was an interesting read.

A well-structured and enriching tour that combines history, culture, and breathtaking landscapes.
This tour is an amazing experience from start to finish!
Our guide, Thami, is polite, warm, and enthusiastic. He arrives early for pick-up and provides detailed explanations at every stop. What stands out the most is his respectful and patient approach—he doesn’t ask personal questions and makes sure everyone feels comfortable throughout the journey without hesitation in providing assistance.
The itinerary is well-planned, with a smooth flow between sites and well-timed stops. Even on weekends, there are no issues with site closures, making the trip hassle-free.
This tour is highly recommended for history and nature lovers, offering a perfect blend of cultural significance and breathtaking landscapes. However, be prepared for nearly three hours of hiking in total.

Amazing well preserved Rock Art in Drackensburg Mountains
Collected promptly by our tour guide and driver Bafana After a drive of about 3 hours with a stop on the way arrived at Kamberg Rock Art Centre in Drackensburg Mountains
Hike took about 1 1/2 and you need to have a good fitness level as it is rocky and steep in places and the same way down
Totally worth it for the rewards of the most stunning well preserved San people Rock Art
On the way back visited the Nelson Mandela capture site
Well worth the visit Interesting and well presented information
Looked after throughout by our tour guide Bafana
