Uvongo beach is famous for its 23- metre waterfall that plunges from a massive rock escarpment into one of the country?s deepest lagoons. A riverside footpath heads inland beyond a tree-shaded paddling pool to reach the bird- and small animal-prolific Uvongo Nature Reserve. Every Saturday sees the local Rotary Club host a well- attended Flea Market that doubles as a social gathering of note.
Just inland of Uvongo lies the township of KwaGamalakhe, home to some 30-thousand predominantly Zulu folk and one of three fascinating opportunities to become fully immersed in the mysteries of traditional culture. The Vulindlela Association offers this insightful choice of community based tours, in the capable hands of accredited local guides. Chat leadership with the chief, discuss medical matters with a traditional healer, see your future foretold in a throw of the bones, discover how women care for their families without the luxuries of electricity or running water ? all eye-opening encounters guaranteed to leave a lasting and humbling impression!
