Valley of 1000 Hills & Phezulu



Today we drove through the Valley of 1000 Hills to Phezulu Safari Park. The first thing we did was enjoy the magnificent view of the Valley of 1000 hills. Paul tried to count them but lost track at around 900.


We then enjoyed walking through the Crocodile Park watching the Crocs swimming and sleeping in the sun.



Then we took part in the Zulu Dancing and learned more about Zulu culture. This is an excerpt taken from the Phe Zulu website:

At Phezulu village, the world famous Gasa clan has over the last 30 years, allowed visitors to Phezulu the opportunity to savour the taste and feel the rhythm of Africa. Visitors are taken into traditional beehive shaped thatched huts, where the various artifacts, beliefs and rituals are explained, giving foreigners an insight into the fascinating Zulu culture. The Zulu dancing show is impressive with the dancers in their traditional garb, showing off their skills with grace, agility and humour- a truly unforgettable experience!

And an unforgettable experience it was.....

As soon as it was over, the women wanted to hold both Makai and Adaya. Can you blame them?

We were hoping our Citizenship paperwork would arrive today, but it looks like it will be tomorrow. So we will head back into Durban to meet our social worker and apply for a Canadian Passport for Adaya.
