KwaZulu-Natal culture podcasts

KwaZulu-Natal Highlights Quote
"KwaZulu-Natal has the best bits of all the other provinces. You have the bush, the beaches, the majestic Drakensberg and the incredibly rich cultural heritage of the Zulu people."

Eric Ncinci Mcineka, Simunye Zulu Lodge
"We can take guests who visit us to consult traditional diviners called Sangomas or herbalists called Inyangas to find out about their future."


Rob Gerrard, Battlefields
"The Battles of Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift are taught to every member of the British and American Armed Forces as ‘Dos’ and ‘Do Nots’. Isandlwana is a ‘Do Not’. Rorke’s Drift is definitely a ‘Do’."

Siphile Mdaka, Umuzi Wakwa Mdaka homestead
"Two classrooms have been built and a kitchen in the primary school. People are able to see the connection between the wildlife park and what is happening in their community."

Dr Elliot Ndlovu, Fordoun Hotel Spa, Midlands
"Fordoun is a healing place, a spiritual place."




KwaZulu-Natal wildlife podcasts

Kian Barker, iSimangaliso Wetland Park
"It’s the mixture of ecosystems that gives the Park such huge species diversity. Almost double any other area."


Phillip Khumalo, Amakhosi Guide
"When a lion sees a cheetah, he will chase the cheetah because they compete for food. A lion won’t allow any other predator around him."




KwaZulu-Natal activity podcasts

Clive Smith, Dive Master Rocktail Bay
"The coral is in pristine condition. It’s been rated Number 7 dive site in the world and it hasn’t been overdived like lots of other sites."




KwaZulu-Natal places to stay podcasts

Jean Toucher, Ghost Mountain Inn
"Ghost Mountain’s history goes back to the days of King Shaka. Probably what the early settlers saw was the laying to rest of a Gaza family chief"


Mark Mgobhozi, Durban
"Durban is a tropical city with beautiful beaches that are very safe and family-friendly."


Alastair Rankin, Rocktail Beach Camp
"Rocktail Beach Camp is unique. Our chalets are low-impact three and four star canvas structures high in the forest canopy and we are one of the Top Ten dive sites in the world."

Lindi Maseme, LinSy Paradise, Afriportico Accommodation Group
"In most of our b&bs the owners will tell you stories about our history, about how we lived, how we grew up."


John Bates, Owner Fordoun Hotel and Spa, Midlands
"The experience people will have at Fordoun is one of utter and complete relaxation."
