The focal point of The Kingdom is an entertainment
experience where guests are taken on a fascinating 1½ -hour journey into
the world of the Zulu People. The journey begins in an auditorium seating up to
160 guests where a powerful multi media presentation sets the mood. People move
from there through a series of entertainment zones where an ensemble of Zulu performers
will present various aspects of Zulu tradition, culture and history in an interactive
and exciting manner. The journey ends back in the auditorium with a feast of Zulu
song and dance.
The Victorian Manor, lavishly appointed and tastefully decorated
in British Colonial style, offers guests the perfect setting for elegant dining
and romantic cocktails. The dining room and wide verandah overlooking the undulating
sugar fields will seat up to 120 in comfort and under the watchful eye of German
Hotelier and Chef, Rainer Stenzhorn, all meals are guaranteed to impress even
the most discerning.
The original Indian cane cutters' village has been lovingly
renovated to provide 28 en suite chalets decorated in a combination of Colonial
and Indian style and planted with aromatic herbs, tropical fruit trees and vivid
exotic blooms. This authentic village pays homage to those who arrived in South
Africa as indentured laborers and stayed on to help build a nation and become
an integral part of our magnificent cultural diversity.
