| Page Views: 76,516 Last Visit to Province of KwaZulu-Natal: September, 2002 | The colourfull world of the Zulu people by tompt - last update: Apr 29, 2006 |
We visited KwaZulu Natal in september 2002 and were very impressed by the friendly Zulu people and their colourfull beadwork.
The reed dance, a once a year occasion, was held at the Enyokeni palace, Ngoma district. Thousands of girls bringing reed to the palace with dancing and singing made quit an impression. See the travelogue for more (very colourfull) pics.
Also very colourfull was the cultural contest for schools we stumbled upon. There is also a travelogue about that.

Also great to visit when in KwaZulu Natal are the gameparks. There are some famous ones like Hluhluwe-Umfolozi, but also the smaller ones like Mkuzi. Camping in a gamepark is an unique experience. There is no camping in Hluhluwe-Umfolozi, but you can book safaritents.

On the cultural trail again you can visit a historic region called the battlefields. The battlefields are in the west of the province and the battles were fought over a hundred years ago.
Battles were between boers and english, boers and Zulu, and also english and Zulu.
