Afterwards, explore the Valley of 1000 Hills at PheZulu Cultural Village and Reptile Park. Experience a traditional Zulu homestead with thatched huts arranged around cattle enclosures. A local guide will explain Zulu cultural practices from the 1800s and lead an educational and entertaining Zulu dancing show featuring traditional songs and attire.
