Tourism provides the main economy for many parts of Kwazulu Natal and this itinerary has been prepared with a view to producing a perfect balance of wildlife conservation without intrusion or erosion of natural habitats combined with the need to stimulate and support the local economy.
We use a combination of locally owned accommodation and lodges all of which have their own individual eco-friendly policies. These are designed to ensure that they utilise natural resources wisely and that their construction is appropriate to the environment.
In cases like the Zulu Cultural Village at Simunye tourism provides 100% of the revenue of the local community and any products not produced by the community itself are sourced locally to ensure that the maximum tourism spend remains within the regional economy.
In terms of the wildlife elements of this holiday all safaris are organised either by the local conservation projects or in direct liaison with them to ensure that the natural habitats are minimally disrupted by the presence of tourism. This is further enhanced by comprehensive briefings and educating visitors in their individual and collective responsibilities whilst visiting these habitats. Tourism directly contributes towards the protection of rare species such as the White Rhino in the Imfolozi-Hluhluwe Game Reserve.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
