What a fantastic tour. The Zulu show and the guided reptile tour was the best. Aaron was excellent. 😁
Zulu village a must
Steve52mellon, Feb 2023
We strongly recommend this trip. From the start to finish we throughly enjoyed it. The young reptile ranger ( sorry we forgot him name) was so helpful. He took us on a tour of the reptile area full of enthusiasm. We had the chance to hold a baby croc and have a Burmese Pylon wrapped round our necks. We all really enjoyed the tour of the. Zulu village thats located in a stunning location . All in all if you get the chance visit this village
not value for money

My daughter holding a snake - some memorable moments and photos wee taken to remember the experience. Whatever we sore was good but for 70 GBP - this tour experience was only 4 hrs. I don't consider it value for money. 70 GBP is way too expensive for a 4 hr experience.
Response from Host, Jan 2023
Hello Thank you for the feedback. The PheZulu tour is one of our shorter tours. I regret that you didn't enjoy it but many other tourists have and Phezulu remains one of our most popular destination outside of Durban. Hopefully in future we can offer you something else if you ever visit Durban. Kind Regards Christo
Great time had by a.ll

Der Ausflug hat total Spaß gemacht. Alles ist so abgelaufen, wie es im Vorfeld abgesprochen war. Toller und sehr netter Guide.Sehr empfehlenswert!
Response from Host, Jan 2024
Thank you so much for the wonderful review
Lohnt sich nicht!
Michael_B, Jan 2023
Fahrer: Äußerst aggressiver und gefährlicher Fahrstil. Reiseleiter: Überfordert, keine Unfos zum Ablauf des Ausflugs, keinerlei Hintergrundinfos zur Stadt Durban pder Zulu-Kultur. "Tanzvorführung": Touristische Abzocke!
Response from Host, Jan 2023
Hello Apologies for the terrible tour guide. Due to covid and the pandemic, we have hired new guides and some prove to be less than adequate. He has been removed from Zulu Safaris. If you are ever in Durban again, please contact us for a complementary tour. Kind Regards Christo
