"I just wanted to thank you for putting this trip together for us. We had a wonderful time and learned so much. On our last game drive we saw all of the Big Five plus hippos, giraffes and several small mammals and birds. On the whole, a wonderful experience..

KwaMuhle Museum
The KwaMuhle Museum in Durban gives visitors the opportunity to get a better understanding of what apartheid entailed and how ordinary people participated in the struggle for freedom and human dignity. The miracle of the current South Africa cannot be properly appreciated without an understanding of the the previous dispensation of apartheid; what it was and how it affected the different communities.
The KaMuhle Museum is housed in a building that was previously the offices of the Department of Native Affairs. The policy of apartheid tried to segregate the different racial groups in the country. Black people could not enter the cities without an official permit, the hated “dompass”, issued by the Department of Native Affairs. This was understandably the most hated building in Durban, currently a museum housing many relics of the apartheid era.
Although the Indian and Coloured people did not need the same permits as the Black people, they were also denied many of the privileges of normal citizens. Discrimination based on race was also part of their daily life.
