people, Chief Thomas and his family invites you to their home. Come

DAY TOURS
Kwabhekithunga has a long tradition of catering for
educational tours and outings. From interest groups and coach tours
to school excursions, we are able to accommodate them all.
The Zulu cultural program consists of a guided tour,
where Chief Thomas will meet you with a Zulu handshake. The importance
of the kraal, social structure, traditional dress, regalia, crops and
food, hut building and the role of women and children are all explained.
Ancestral spirits play an important role in Zulu culture, with the Sangoma,
holding a revered position in Zulu society. Awe struck, you will witness
the mystery of generations-old mystical practices as the Sangoma demonstrates
her ability.
While you are taking in the ancient lore, quench your
thirst by sipping traditional Zulu beer, freshly made by Thomas's wife,
from a proper Zulu drinking gourd
To celebrate your visit the Umuzi women will create an elaborate meal
of six succulent traditional dishes - prepared the Zulu way, served
with fresh fruit and washed down with your choice of more Zulu beer,
wine or soft drinks
