Beers and Shamans

About the package

Looking for an unorthodox travel to experience this year? Head to South Africa and the local Shamans! A laughing Zulu chief will be waiting for you to have a traditional hand-made beer with him. We promise that it will be a cultural and culinary experience because the local beer is a whole different chapter compared to our western lagers. In addition to the authentic touch of Zulu traditions, unique gardens and monuments of the Zulu metropolis you will visit two large nature reserves and relax on the golden beaches at the end of your itinerary. We prepare each trip to measure so feel free to set your own dates, terms, number of people or accommodation level. Everything can be arranged and we are here to make it happen for you.

Thank you for the unique experiences on our holiday in Morocco. Your approach to our requests was as forthcoming as it could get. I especially value the fact you were able to arrange flight connections exactly according to our time options which is not a standard. If we decide to explore the Orient more we will definitely turn to you. It was pleasure to work with your family company.

Dear Mrs. & Mr. El Hassan, we would like to thank you for arranging our amazing trip to Jordan. The arrival to Amman and the subsequent check-out was top of the class! All the hotels met our expectations but one stood out the most - the hotel in Amman which surpassed our wildest imagination.. the amenities, kindness of the personnel.. We could carry on praising you for many more things but we guess we would only be saying things you already know. Thank you once again!
