My husband and I really enjoyed this tour. Leon and Paul made it a very interesting and informative tour. It was my husband's first visit to Durban and he thought it was an excellent introduction to the city. We would highly recommend this tour.

Our driver was very informed and friendly - he took us to a variety of places of interest and finished to tour with a great bunny chow meal at the wharf - thanks to Togo our Zulu guide

If you are in Durban don't miss this tour, its absolutely a must with excellent scenery and great experience going up(and down) Sani Pass. Our guide was very nice with great knowledge and we were very lucky with the weather, great views all the way

Worth doing once just because the place is so different than most places I've been. It is a long time in the van just getting back and forth from Durban. The road up into Lesotho is an experience in itself. Once in the country, it is pretty basic and you are done, off to the long road back home.

Thoroughly enjoyed our Lesotho experience.
We had a competant 4wd driver and guide and residents at the village didn't mind us seeing their huts and taking photos. Would highly recommend trip

The actual village was a bit disappointing, although I suppose it was the best they can get to the real thing. The Zulu guides did their best to make you feel welcome and explained village life and very proud of their heritage and ancestor Shaka. Dancing at finish was fabulous, full of energy, noise and the Zulus enjoyed performing. Try and do the meal as it was very good and worth the money

Highly recommended. This is a great opportunity to learn about natives, other than Zulus, and to visit their homes.

Fascinating history that was particularly well presented. It certainly wasn't Disneyland, but provided a insight into daily Zulu life

A good intorduction to Durban. Wish we had spent more Time in some of the museum stops rater than spending too much Time around the old harbour! The Ushaka Marine is fantastic for the vides and fun expécially if you have kids but thon you would not do it on a day trip. Funny guide shared our bunny chao even though we had paid for 2 tickets, saying that was 2/3. Bizarre.

This gamme reserve is a lot more rugged than Pilanesburg. And much further from Durban than Pilanesburg is from Johannesburg. So we got back almost at 8.30 pm after leasing at 6.30 in the morning. The guide was well intentioned but like most guides they are on a mission to spew all they know! Had to reign him to the job at hand several times. Did not see many animals. Worth doing if spending a night there!

This was a great trip it does take 12-14 hours and the road is rough,but the scenery is wonderful you feel like you have been transported to another time when you reach Lesotho.

This is not where the Zulu live,but the old TV setting from a 1980's TV series. The Zulu guide we had was joking and acting,not as educational as this could be with proper guide.
