The Zululand Birding Route has been established for over 12 years and currently supports over 25 small community owned tourism businesses. The Zululand Cultural and Heritage Route was established in 2009 and has significant scope to also provide a valuable platform for emerging community based tourism entrepreneurs to succeed and become sustainable, providing that they have adequate support and mentorship.
