Maputaland is a part of South Africa, KwaZulu-Natal, that is tucked in between Swaziland, Mozambique, and the endless white beaches of the warm Indian Ocean coast. It is a vast remote and magical place of shimmering lakes, forests, bush and pristine seashore.

The area is only accessible on foot, on horseback or with 4X4 vehicles and therfore it is sheltered from mass tourism and major human intrusion.

The northern part of Maputaland, is without conventional electricity and water supply. Here you can experience the rich “real life” African tribal culture that is unaffected by modern world or industry.
