South Africa has a plethora of African cultures, but the Zulu one is, undoubtedly, one of its most significant in terms of history, heritage and modern identity. Shakaland is an attraction in Eshowe in the scenic province of KwaZulu-Natal, along the east coast of South Africa. It pays homage to the Zulu nation’s history, explores its contribution to modern society, and allows visitors from all four corners of the planet to experience a taste of this culture.
This is more than just a tourist attraction – it is an enriching and vibrant cultural experience affording a better understanding of the Zulu people and their ancient customs. Shakaland is a cultural replication of a Zulu “Umuzi” or homestead, complete with 55 very comfortable beehive huts that overlook the Phobane Lake.
Here, visitors can participate in a traditional ceremony, learn Zulu customs, try traditional beer and enjoy energetic Zulu dancing. Immerse yourself in an authentic, vibrant South African culture at this Zulu village.
The Shakaland Zulu Cultural Village is a 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.
This South African Zulu village offers a comprehensive Zulu experience where you can try some foot-stomping with the tribal assegai-wielding warriors, dressed in traditional animal skins, or view consultations with a sangoma (spiritual leader believed to have the ability to communicate with the ancestors). It will be an intriguing experience that will stay with you forever.
