Our story of the battlefields starts with a young boy,
outcast from his clan, forced to find a home for himself
and his mother. The young Shaka was to develop into great
warrior, chief and finally King of the Zulus. His
leadership bound all the clans of the uNguni people into
the greatest nation known today, The Zulu!
Let us take you through the beautiful rolling hills and
valleys that make up KwaZulu-Natal and which was once home
to the mighty King Shaka. Meet it's friendly people, learn
its intriguing history and experience its unique culture.
This is a land of great beauty from its magnificent
coastline, to its world class game reserves and heritage
