South African HighsIt's all about adventure in this episode of
Globe Guide! Our stay begins at a hidden resort in the midst of the Drakensberg Mountains, founded by a family whose third generation still owns this country hotel. The property boasts 94 rooms (plus additional suites) and a unique adventure center, with a range of activities for young and old alike. Next, we jump in a 4x4 and head up the Sani Pass, a mountain route that links Africa's present to its past. The best part? We get to explore some of the most beautiful areas of the Drakensberg Mountain range.
Next, we take a moment to savor a wine that seems to embody this region. The Durbanville Wine cellar produces top-quality wine from a first-rate maritime wine region. Later, it's time for a trip into the past as we pay a visit to the kingdom of the legendary Zulu Warriors; "Shakaland" is the world of Shaka, King of Zuluat the Great Kraal. Our tour also explores traditional customs such as tribal dancing, spear-making and beer-drinking ceremonies.
