Customer Reviews of the Shakaland
A poor man's Zulu Disneyland.
The accommodation was not ready when we arrived. It did not have electricity or water when we arrived and was nothing like the photo in the brochure.
After two hours we did get what we wanted but would not recommend to anyone.
If there is such a thing as the opposite of a highlight, this was it. ( The pits ? )

Would not recommend - was tired looking and staff were clearly bored. Food terrible.
