WOWZULU is a responsible tourism initiative that invites tourists to explore our beautiful province, discover new places, meet real people, touch your soul. We have personally selected, packaged and prepared a series of community experiences where you can enjoy yourself, learn about our rich and diverse cultural and natural heritage, safe in the hands of a local guide. We will welcome you at one o

f 7 WOWZULU Marketplaces in KZN before introducing you to our warm and welcoming communities. We invite you to stir your senses, taste our culture, hear our stories, feel the beat of our rural homes. WOWZULU has created a network of marketplaces throughout KwaZulu-Natal that offer community owned tourism. Here you can enjoy storytelling, taste local food, be served delicious coffee and buy exquisitely designed hand made craft produced by local crafters. All while knowing you are contributing to job creation, enterprise development and securing income for women and youth in rural KZN. WOWZULU is powered by Africa!Ignite, a Durban-based non-profit rural development agency that has worked across rural KwaZulu-Natal for more than a decade and whose team know the province like the back of their hands. At the heart of all Africa!Ignite does is the quest to help women and youth in the province’s achingly beautiful but materially poor deep-rural areas to improve their lives by earning a decent living and learning marketable skills. To create the WOWZULU offer, Africa!Ignite has partnered with a range of tourism partners and financing in South Africa and Europe.

Our local Mthembu family in Khula Village, St Lucia, shared traditional recipes passed down through generations with our Resirest guests.

They got hands-on in the kitchen, learning about Zulu culture, and enjoyed a delicious meal made with fresh, local ingredients. It's more than just cookingβ€”it's a cultural journey.

A couple from Australia recently thoroughly enjoyed exploring Khula Village with Siya! From the WOWZULU Marketplace, they went on a guided walk through the community to feel the pulse of daily life. They bought an indigenous tree from a local β€˜treepreneur’ to plant on the edge of the Wetland, aiding conservation of this important area and offsetting their carbon footprint, and enjoyed a visit to the traditional healer (isangoma) and a dance demonstration.

A beautiful message from a trip we organized recently at WOWZULU eMazizini:

"I trust this letter finds you well and in good spirits. After a full and fruitful 21-day excursion through our beloved South Africa, Elizabeth is back home safely, and we have returned to our home in the Western Cape.

Our intention was to offer Elizabeth an open and honest look into the land and heart of the people of South Africa, inviting her to remember her own heart’s wisdom as she begins a transition into elderhood. Thanks to you and so many others like you, the radiant beauty of our South African heart overflowed her cup. After a tender goodbye we received this message from Elizabeth as she waited to board her return flight to New York…

β€œI have never had a more heart opening transformative experience in my life. Words cannot describe the love, the kindness, the wisdom and care that I have received.”

Her words are an endorsement and true reflection of your love, wisdom and care. We at Born As The Earth Zen Academy - BEZA thank you for your time and heartfelt presence during the brief yet valuable time we shared together. You have touched not only Elizabeth’s heart but our hearts too.

We will begin planning another visit with you soon, this time with more visitors from abroad. I trust that as our work and connection with you deepens, and interest from international guests grows, we all may continue to benefit from the love you have so generously shared.

Thank you for the good work you do in the world!"
