Experience The Zulu Culture At Emazizini<\/h1>\n

What better way to shrug off months of lockdown blues than to stretch the muscles and mind during a cultural tourism experience in rural Emazizini, KwaZulu-Natal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With September being Tourism Month, Tourism KZN is promoting everything from cosy huts to rustic hotels and farm to fork while encouraging the discovery of rural roots in keeping with the theme \u201cRural Tourism and Development\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charity begins at home \u2013 this would appear to be the catchphrase as visitors are urged to experience the culture and language of the Zulu people throughout the at several destinations by interacting with villagers and learning more about their way of life and their practices, rituals and ceremonies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visitors will also be treated to a sample of traditional Zulu beer, which the villagers make themselves. Cultural (traditional singing and dancing) shows are performed to give visitors a glimpse into how the Zulu people celebrate their heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can even experience the spirit of old Africa up close by arranging a traditional Zulu wedding in one of the country villages \u2013 without actually marrying into the clan or negotiating cattle lobola.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WOWZULU is a responsible tourism initiative that offers authentic community experiences in Emazizini in the northern Drakensberg. The experiences range from tractor-trailer rides up the mountain, to craft lessons with master craftswomen and guided village walks and immersions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be fascinated with the magnificent sunrise and sunset scenic views at the Drakensberg world heritage site and thrilling views of the uThukela River with plunging waterfalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go back home with captivating experiences of becoming part of the eMazizini village life for a day by taking part in different activities such as preparing fields; planting or harvesting; milking cows or herding cattle; or taking part in traditional ceremonies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tourists can explore the marketplace on the road to Royal Natal National Park<\/a> which has locally-made handicraft that combines traditional techniques with modern design. While relaxing you can relish yourself with a cup of coffee, listen to local stories and get a taste of local culture at its best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local women who have inherited unique skills from previous generations can teach you the wonders of weaving grass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want that organic garden picking vegetable experience travel to eMazizini to have lunch, cycle through rural Khula Village, stop at a cattle kraal, go canoeing on Midmar Dam<\/a>, stop at a tavern to taste locally-brewed \u201cmfula mule\u201d and finish off with a freshly prepared meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feast yourself at local restaurants tasting traditional dishes including delicious Zulu steamed bread, dumplings or amagwinya (vetkoek), imfino, spinash or amadumbe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Workshops are currently being conducted at all WOWZULU destinations to capacitate community businesses on Covid-19 hygiene measures. Each tourist attraction site ensures the health and safety measures are in place \u2013 masks are mandatory, and guests are screened on arrival.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
