Mandela Capture Site & PheZulu Cultural Village Day Tour from Durban

Summary

Begin your tour with hotel pickup prior to a 7:30 a.m. departure. Drive roughly an hour from Durban to Pietermaritzburg, the capital of KawZulu-Natal province. Upon arrival, tour the city’s highlights — including a large number of historical British buildings — with your small group of 11 people or fewer. Then, proceed to the site where Nelson Mandela was captured and sent into incarceration; a nearby museum fleshes out the story and your guide provides narration regarding his life and work. Next, travel to the Howick Falls, a 311-foot tall (95 meter) cascade believed to house spirits. The tour will continue to the Valley of a Thousand Hills, where Zulu culture is on full display. Watch a traditional dance and tour a home at the Phezulu Cultural Village, learning about Zulu beliefs and rituals from a guide as you go. Conclude the tour with a visit to a reptile exhibit to learn about the local crocodiles and other reptiles before transferring back to your hotel in Durban.
