We make our way up the lush KwaZulu-Natal north coast, through sugarcane fields and into the tropical beauty of Zululand and the nKwalini Valley. Atop a hill overlooking the uMhlatusi River, Shaka's birthplace, stands the largest Zulu kraal in all of Zululand. It was built on the set of the film Shaka Zulu and far from lying dormant, today it's a very much alive museum. Here you'll learn all about the culture and traditions of Zulus and witness the skill and artistry that goes into building their huts, making pottery, brewing beer and crafting bead-work and baskets. Sample the unusual beer, visit the isangoma (witchdoctor), enjoy the grace and energy of the Zulu dancers and then tuck into a delicious lunchtime feast.

Durban Stadium
In preparation for the 2010 World Cup, Durban has created Durban's Durban's Moses Mabhida Stadium. The stadium's iconic design will create an unmistakeable silhouette on the Durban skyline.
Durban's Moses Mabhida Stadium takes its design inspiration from the South African flag, with its grand arch representing the unity of a sport-loving nation. The two legs of the arch on the southern side of the stadium, come together to form a single footing on the northern side, symbolizing the uniting of a once-divided nation.
The stadium has been specifically designed to be active 365 days a year, creating a dynamic entertainment node for the city of Durban, incorporating Imbizo Place with over 7000m2 retail space, an amphitheatre and a cable car.
The cable car will ascend to a viewing platform at the top of the expansive 350m arch, a staggering 106m above the pitch. From this vantage point, visitors can experience spectacular panoramic views over the ocean and the city.
The stadium is a world-class, state-of-the-art, multifunctional arena located in the heart of the Kings Park Sporting Precinct. It will seat 70 000 roaring fans for the 2010 World Cup, with 54 000 seats in legacy mode (permanent), and the potential to expand to 85 000 seats to meet the requirements of large-scale events such as the Olympic Games.
Durban's Moses Mabhida Stadium will be the jewel in the crown of the Kings Park Sporting precinct. The entire area will feature additional sporting arenas and facilities as well as restaurants, shops, children's play areas and a pedestrian walkway linking the stadium complex to the beach. |
