Shembe Celebrations. (15th October to 1st November 2020)
Zululand Eco-Adventures does daily Tours to the Shembe Village at Judea where a lot of activities, Prayer & dancing are taking place. The place is a hive of activity from about the 15th October to the weekend of the 1st November. Day tours in your transport with a guide cost R750 per person. Dress code and protocol need to be strictly adhered to.

Highlights are on the last weekend.

During the month of October more than 30 000 Shembe followers gather for a month of religious celebrations in the village of Judea near Eshowe. The village literally springs up overnight at their yearly gathering place. This is an absolute eye opener and gives one a chance to meet the Shembes and their Saviour. On the Saturday is the traditional prayer dance, and Sunday is the day of prayer, where followers get an opportunity to be healed and blessed by Shembe. There is a tremendous emphasis on traditional dress and dance, praise singing, and the blowing of the Horns of Jericho.

Cost R750 per person.

In KwaZulu-Natal, 24 September was known as Shaka Day, in commemoration of the Zulu King, Shaka, on the presumed date of his death in 1828. Shaka was the Zulu King who played an important role in uniting disparate Zulu clans into a cohesive nation.

Date: 24 September
First time: 24 September 1995
Observed by: South Africans.

Zululand Eco-Adventures does Tours to this Ceremony every year.

You will be accompanied by a guide and will get the chance to meet a lot of Zulu people and hear the Zulu King deliver his speech.

Cost R750 pp. Provide your own transport. We can meet you in Dukuza (Stanger). You need someone to guide you through this.There are masses of people and you need to know what is going on. Lunch & refreshments are available at the venue.

On this day at Dukuza (Formerly Stanger) the Zulu King, traditional chiefs, nduna’s and laymen gather at Dukuza to be addressed by the Zulu King. Groups of Zulu people from all over KZN come in traditional attire singing and dancing to be addressed by his Majesty King Goodwill Zwelithini. This is a most colourful and happy occasion. It lasts most of the day.

This is great fun and full of happy people dressed in so many different styles and colours.

Cost R750 per person.

Zulu Kings Reed Dance ~ 5th & 6th September 2020

The Zulu Kings Reed Dance is on Saturday 5th & 6th 2020 September when the Zulu King is presented with the Reeds from 30,000 Zulu maidens. The first day Reeds are presented and the next is mainly Dance & Song is also a great day at The Nyokeni Palace when the maidens dance, sing and show off their costumes.

Check my website video https://eshowe.com/zntv/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=zululandeco-adventures&utm_content=evergreencontent for activities of both days and read about the event on other pages on the www.eshowe.com website.

The ideal situation to see this event properly is to gather at Sugar Hilll Manor Guesthouse in Eshowe on the 7th to leave early the next morning in convoy to the Kings Palace (1 hour 30 minute drive.). You take your own transport so you can stay as long as you need to....usually it is over by 4pm. We return to the Palace the next day if you would like to see the next day's activities.

It is important to be guided for many reasons......there are over 40,000 people and they are mostly Zulu's so language is a problem. Sometimes it is difficult to know what's going on let alone being at the right place at the correct time!! If you want to take photographs you need clearance.

We make sure that these things are all sorted out for you. We have been doing these tours for over 20 years.

We provide a light picnic lunch with limited refreshments.

Cost R750 per person.

Khekheke Ceremony
February 23rd 2020. Departure from Eshowe at 8 am and return 4.30 pm.
Cost R750 pp. Light picnic provided.

Come along with Zululand Eco-Adventures to experience Khekhekhe’s annual snake ritual and First Fruits ceremony – something you won’t see anywhere else on this earth…

On the 23rd February each year Khekheke performs the annual First Fruits ceremony (which was originally held by earlier Zulu Kings) at his homestead overlooking the Tugela River.

He has messages to impart and history to tell about his ancestor, King Diniswayo, and how he acquired his power over snakes as a young man. The ceremony involves many sangomas, whom he leads, whilst holding a few venomous snakes in his bare hands – and he puts the snakes’ heads in his mouth, demonstrating his power over evil.
