Bushmen Cave Paintings, Horse Riding & Homestead Lodging - 2 Day Tour from Durban

Partake on an authentic rural village experience in the northern area of KwaZulu-Natal, an area where most of the Zulu Kingdom warriors fought against the British army. To this day, its inhabitants continue practising immemorial customs such as stick fighting & traditional Zulu dances, and they also prepare the kind of cuisine you couldn't find in any restaurant. You'll have the unique chance to engage with the villagers, attend traditional ceremonies & even ride horses as they do to herd their cows. But besides this; I'll also take you to see caves that preserve paintings dating from hundreds to thousands of years, which give notions of this area's way of life across time. A large amount of them are still clearly visible due to the preservation efforts of the local community, not only because they value cross-generational culture but they also recognize the public interest they signify. There's a few historical buildings to see too, such as churches & old residential houses, all built by missionaries.
