Lovely place. My group had a lot of elderly people so moving about was sometimes challenging.
Breakfast not to good run out off food do not refill and cold dinner not to bad
The cultural experience is highly recommended for those seeking to understand diversity. The tour was interesting and informative. Fikile who is a cultural guide, was friendly and versatile which various groups which I observed both local scholars and international guests who attended the cultural experience.
This gem has such a magical quality. You can shop here or just enjoy the culture. They are ready to answer all your questions and put up a lovely song and dance show which depicts the culture so beautifully. In addition there is a hut which is used to depict the medicines used. The ladies are very willing to dress you and the garments are such exotic and stunning. It is definitely worth a visit if you are going anywhere are Hluhluwe.
A great place to be around for peace of mind and experiencing the beauty of African cultures. So clean and neat. The stuff were fantastic, unfortunately the storms caused so much damages to the water pump, and Eskom took forever (More than 4 days) to fix the problem, but we were offered an alternative (Bushland) without any cost. That alone showed us what kind of people we were dealing with .. they are superb and excellent.
