Vuk' Africa is a cultural tourism company that seeks to empower, develop and showcase developing communities in South Africa. Vuk' Africa is operating in the community of KwaNyuswa in the Valley of a Thousand Hills South Africa, 40 minutes drive west of Durban. Vuk' Africa is a unique organisation that merges tourism with community development. It is about exposing people to the real South Africa,

the South Africa that you won’t find on traditional tourist routes. It is about having a positive impact in a rural Zulu community – uplifting, empowering and developing the people in the Valley of a Thousand Hills. Vuk' Africa was established in 2004 and is owned and run by members of the KwaNyuswa community. Some income generated supports the local people and some profits go directly toward community initiatives and resources. Some proceeds from Vuk' Africa are directed towards Light Providers, a non profit organisation working to expose young people to their inherent potential. Light Providers is operating from a community training centre which provides young people with recreational activities, life skills programs and skill development courses. We all have something we can learn from Africa – where life began – and what better way to do it than alongside the Zulu people in their homes and community. We invite you to journey with us into the land, homes and hearts of the Zulu people. Vuk' Africa aims to achieve four main goals:

• To promote understanding of the beauty of Zulu culture to both South African and international visitors. To aid in the reconciliation process between different cultural groups (black and white) that were separated during apartheid

• To have a positive economic benefit for the community of KwaNyuswa by creating employment for tour guides, income for families hosting visitors and an outlet for local people to sell their food and handicrafts

• To create a sustainable income stream for Light Providers*, a registered not for profit organization working with young people in KwaNyuswa and to expose other community projects including an orphanage to funding and sponsors

• To empower community members by exposing their talents and skills to visitors and allowing them to form connections outside of their immediate community

Updated list:

I’ve done Berlin, Germany by both water and land, and I loved it. The city offered some great lessons for the packing tourism products, and Vuka Africa Tours. I’ve also encountered London, United Kingdom, but didn’t see much as I didn’t have enough time to spare for the empire city.

In the City of Cape Town I’ve done most of the main tourist attractions and the city is definitely on a par with most of the global cities around the world ( I studied global cities as part of my international studies major- so I understand a bit what makes a city great lol).

As a history enthusiast, Rome, Italy is definitely in my bucket list together with the most romanticised city: Paris in France. I’m also fascinated by TokyoLife, particularly the rebuilding of the city several times after some catastrophic events. NewYork City is a must visit city of the world to confirm if it doesn’t sleep for real lol! Africa my beginning, Africa my ending: top 20 African cities before I die 💪🏽!

Global cities are architecturally designed to showcase not only the development prowess of a country/state/province, but also tell the historical stories of a land and its development aspirations.

I’m tempted to glorify other great cities I’ve encountered like Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, Los Angeles, California, Belfast, Northern Ireland, UK, Kigali, Rwanda, Pataya, Thailand, Bangkok, Thailand, Indianapolis, Indiana, Amsterdam City, Leuven, Belgium, Tilburg, Netherlands, but I’m afraid that I’d run out of ink ✍️. So another day awaits for the life changing encounters with these marvellous cities.- Including laidback Durban, KwaZulu-Natal and fast paced Johannesburg, and other homeland cities that boast of history worth sharing.
