King Shaka Visitor Centre

KwaZulu-Natal


The King Shaka Visitor Centre is worth visiting for limited but clear historical and chronological information about Shaka and his kingdom. Inside you'll find a short informational video and several display cases of historic artefacts. Outside is a reconstructed Zulu house and the famous Shaka's monument and rock where, according to legend, he was assassinated.
