Fab! Fab! Shakaland! We and our relatives, a young couple from Austria, enjoyed a fabulous sojourn at Shakaland last weekend, 02/03 March 2019\. The people were, without exception, genuinely friendly and helpful. The accommodation was more than adequate and the food was African style par excellence. Very enjoyable. The young ones were so impressed by the cultural side of the programmes, they did not want to leave, begged to stay for a week. But alas, it could not be. Thank you Shakaland for making an unforgettable weekend for us in paradise! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason, Aberdeenshire, Scotland Jan 3, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great experience if you want to learn about the Zulu culture. Lovely food and very helpful and friendly staff. Third time I have been here over more than a decade and still recommend it. Give yourself enough travel time and worth paying the extra money to take to Toll roads. Don't speed and look out for cows on the road when off the tolls, this is the heartland of the Zulu Kingdom :) ##### Jason Stayed 1 night in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### M Dec 2, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### great great great! lovely group that use alot of energy and fantastic dinner and dancing! ##### M Stayed 1 night in Nov 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### Donald Oct 18, 2018 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Zulu culture stop Stopped here for one night to experience some traditional Zulu culture but found the whole place to have a run down feel about it. The Zulu dance show was very good but staff doing the other activities gave the appearance of being bored with it all. Our room was clean and comfortable enough but lighting was poor, our main door was badly fitted with a gap round it, no WIFI in the room. The paths around the accommodation were broken in places and the swimming pool was unusable due to thick algae. Food was a standard buffet and OK but the restaurant was crowded with large tour groups. Fine for a visit to see the Dancing but not to stay. ##### Donald Stayed 1 night in Oct 2018 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Kevin Oct 14, 2018 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### How bad could it get? Read on.... It was awful from the getgo. We reserved a room with 2 double beds and got a room with one, and a twin. My husband got food poisoning from the curry served at lunch. Getting back to our room was dangerous in the hard rain, as there was no drainage and no handrails. The waitress in the am insisted in cash payment for a coke for my sick husband, since the bar was closed. And on top of it all, the coke was refunded. Oh, and the leaks in the room, whether from the rain, the shower, or the sink. And ants in the toilet and sink. I am awaiting some sort of a letter from the company manager. The concept was good, but the rain brought out the worst problems of the hotel. Serious work is needed to bring it up to snuff. The entertainment staff we good, tho limited by the rain. I wish I could say more nice things. It is great if you have children, as long as the repairs and maintenance ar done, ##### Kevin Stayed 1 night in Oct 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joyce Jan 13, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Super leuk Een geweldige ervaring met vriendelijke mensen! ##### Joyce Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### miep, veghel Oct 30, 2017 Liked: Staff & service #### Leuk om een idee te krijgen hoe een Zuludorp er ui We kwamen in de middag aan en zagen in de avond en de volgende ochtend een culturele show en kregen een rondleiding door het "dorp" waarbij uitleg werd gegeven over verschillende gebruiken. ##### miep Stayed 1 night in Oct 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alison Oct 30, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Zulu experience Fantastic experience.

Groups and families could have a great experience here. It was offseason when we visited. Only us and another couple, but we still had a great Shakaland time, and lovely evening sitting around the fire chatting at night. Amazing Zulu dancing!!! ##### mark ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eric, Richards Bay May 8, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### SHAKALAND EXPERIENCE We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Shakaland and found it very relaxing and educational. Your tour guide did a superb job. We will certainly recomend,and in fact have,already recommended your hotel. For us it was an eye opener. Unfortunately some of Shaka's less savoury behaviour was not mentioned. In this regard I think the public was misled to a large extent. Shaka was not the romantic do-good enlightened king. Like the great Napoleon of Europe he had many faults. He was an excellent strategist and strong leader whom we can admire for many achievements but at the same time he did his people much harm and was exceptionally cruel towards those who did not toe the line. We need to know all the facts about this great king who was at the same time described by some of his peers as a tyrant. We study too little history in South Africa so this is a step in the right directions, but please try to be less biased. A visit to Shakaland should be made compulsory for all highschool students. ##### Eric ### 8/10 Good #### Eithne, Dublin Ireland Mar 3, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Well worth an overnight stay This is a Zulu cultural experience rather than an hotel. It was built as a movie set for a TV series on Zulu tribal living and converted to a tourist venue. The accommodation is very comfortable, the food was good and the staff very pleasant. The Zulu tribes people who demonstrated tribal daily life and customs along with the dancing and singing were terrific. Well worth an overnight stay ##### Eithne ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jan 3, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 楽しい１泊 私が本当は行く前に知りたかったのことを参考としてまず書きます。 日帰りで行く人のためのナンディプログラムは１１時スタートで約３時間（ランチ付き）。 宿泊者は、１４時～チェックイン。１６時からシャカプログラムがスタートします（朝夕の２食付）。 次に、ホテルの場所についてですが、看板が着くまでは無く、本当にここにあるのか？とどきどきしながら車で行きました。ナビに名前を入れても出ず、GPSを入れて行きました。ダーバンから向かってのですが、注意としては、ナビはオフロードの道を選択していきます。だから、それを無視し、次のコンクリートで舗装された道を行った方がよいです。私はオフロードで行ったので、余計不安になりました。ホテルの周りには本当に何もありません。 ホテルに着くと、ズールー族の人がバックを運んでくれました。チェックインをして伝統的な家の部屋に行きました。中に入ると、想像とは違って、きれいな内装でした。液晶テレビまで壁にありびっくり。不便のない快適な部屋でした。 プログラムの中で、一番よかったのは、夕食の前に行われる第2部のダンスです。ズールー族の方たちが楽しそうにやっていたのもよかったです。 文化を知るために行ったので、食事は期待していなかったのですが、予想に反しておいしかったです。２食ともビュッフェでした。 私としては、泊まってよかったなと思います。 ##### Verified traveller ### 4/10 Poor #### Pepe Jan 2, 2015 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Picsou Prix trop cher pour prestations offerte.

Expérience a vivre. Le spectacle de danse est divertissant et nous transporte dans les rythmes tribaux. Les chambres sont tout de même confortables pour des huttes mais nous avons du nous faire changer de chambre car certaines ont été traitees au goudron ( les poutre de bois au plafond) et l air y était irrespirable ! Les chambres qui n ont pas été traitees sont très bien et propres. La visite du site zoulou n est pas vraiment intéressante car ce sont des personnages actés. La salle à dîner (buffet) est beaucoup trop éclairée donc pas d ambiance!!

Wer eine Reise nach Südafrika plant und etwas über die Geschichte,Traditionen, Bräuche und Leben dort und des Zulu-Volkes erfahren möchte, sollte sich unbedingt eine Nacht im Shakaland gönnen! Die Übernachtung mit Kulturprogramm sind ein abwechslungsreicher Programmpunkt. Die exponierte Lage auf einem Hügel mit tollem Ausblick, sowie die farbigen Rundhütten und andere Gebäude des Kulturdorfes versprechen eine besondere Atmosphäre. Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen und fanden die Vorführungen von Handwerk, Speisezubereitung und die traditionellen Tänze mit Erklärungen absolut interessant. Ebenso der zu Beginn gezeigte Film über das Leben des berühmten Zulu-Königs Shaka. Am besten gefiel jedoch unseren Teenagern, sich im Speerwurf-Wettkampf zu messen! Das Abendessen und Frühstück in Form von Buffet bot eine sehr große Auswahl und war ausgezeichnet. Die Rundhütten sind geschmackvoll dekoriert und komfortabel ausgestattet - ein Erlebnis so zu übernachten ! Lediglich im Bad machten es sich ein paar Krabbeltierchen (Ameisen) gemütlich...was aber das Feeling absolut nicht beeinträchtigte. Im Souveniershop findet man eine sehr große Auswahl zu guten Preisen, wir haben einige schöne Erinnerungsstücke und Mitbringsel erstanden.

Untergebracht ist man in typischen Rundhütten, wie man sie in Dörfern in Kwazulu Natal hier und da noch vorfindet und die sich um einen Komplex mit Bar und Restaurant scharen. Die Lage auf einer Anhöhe mit fantastischen Blick auf einen Stausee lässt nichts zu wünschen übrig. Im Übernachtungspreis sind die sehr umfangreichen Vorführungen der Zulu- Kultur enthalten und Versorgung in Form einer Vollpension(umfangreiches Frühstücksbuffet und ebenso umfangreiches Abendbuffet). ##### Verified traveller ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Luxury Collection Hotel Manhattan Midtown](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-The-Luxury-Collection-Hotel-Manhattan-Midtown.h27924.Hotel-Information) > > [Aquila Private Game Reserve & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Touws-River-Hotels-Aquila-Private-Game-Reserve-Spa.h6347327.Hotel-Information) > > [Mafigeni Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Gravelotte-Hotels-Mafigeni-Safari-Lodge.h3954755.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Keewatin Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Keewatin-Beach-Hotels.0-l553248621558560641-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Palace of the Lost City at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Palace-Of-The-Lost-City-At-Sun-City-Resort.h392096.Hotel-Information) > > [Thorn & Feather (Vermaaklikheid)](https://www.expedia.ca/Vermaaklikheid-Hotels-Thorn-Feather.h61102048.Hotel-Information) > > [Doubletree Resort by Hilton Hollywood Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Doubletree-Resort-By-Hilton-Hollywood-Beach.h40775.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Revelstoke](https://www.expedia.ca/Revelstoke-Hotels.d10607.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Crystal Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Whistler-Hotels-Crystal-Lodge.h26720.Hotel-Information) > > [OYO Hotel and Casino Las Vegas](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels-OYO-Hotel-And-Casino-Las-Vegas.h1353440.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Banff National Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-National-Park-Hotels.0-l602291-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Citadines Namba Osaka](https://www.expedia.ca/Osaka-Hotels-Citadines-Namba-Osaka.h44458626.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Singapore](https://www.expedia.ca/Singapore-Hotels.d3168.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Campobello Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Campobello-Island-Hotels.d181815.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Campo de' Fiori](https://www.expedia.ca/Campo-De-Fiori-Hotels.0-l6074000-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Best Western Plus St. John's Airport Hotel and Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Johns-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-St-Johns-Airport-Hotel-And-Suites.h20154318.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Polokwane](https://www.expedia.ca/Polokwane-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Polokwane.h17771611.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Goffs (YHZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yhz/toronto-to-halifax) > > [Emirates](https://www.expedia.ca/Emirates-Flights.cEK.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Banff (YBA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yba/toronto-to-banff) ### Cars > [Car rentals in San Francisco](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-San-Francisco.d178305.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Activities ### Packages > [Dominican Republic](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/50/Dominican-Republic) > > [Cabo San Lucas](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/180032/Cabo-San-Lucas)
