Zululand: Where Heritage, History & Wild Beauty Collide
When in Zululand, you are stepping into the heart of the Zulu kingdom, where royal legacies, sacred hills, and timeless traditions come alive. Just two hours north of Durban, Zululand is where South Africa’s proud history and cultural soul are deeply rooted.
In this area you will discover the historic eMakhosini Valley of the Kings, resting place of great Zulu monarchs like Shaka, Dingane, Mpande, and Cetshwayo. Explore restored royal homesteads and battlefield sites like uMgungundlovu and kwaMatiwane, brought to life by expert guides who share stories of Zulu warriors and their epic clashes with British forces.
Zululand’s heritage extends into its towns. In Eshowe, stroll the forest canopy at Dlinza or visit local art centres. Nearby Mtunzini offers rare birdlife among ancient Raffia palms.
From ancestral trails to battlefield echoes, Zululand is where history speaks, and every visit is a powerful journey through the spirit of the Zulu.
