Zulu songs in a game reserve restaurant

An a cappella performance by the staff in the resort restaurant at the end of the evening meal. The waiters and chefs and kitchen staff gather in rows in front of the diners and sing local songs in Zulu, harmonising, dancing, clapping, ululating and whistling. 

KwaZulu means place of the Zulu. Harmonies of male and female voices singing traditional Zulu songs is tied to the land and its history. At the same time, the tourist industry supports locals in this area, and performing for holidaymakers, showing off traditional culture, is also very typical of the resorts in wildlife and nature parks. 
This is the last trip I took a trip with my mother. She had never visited this game reserve. There was a drought at the time, which explained the many animals that we saw so near to the park, desperately seeking water. Elephant, buffalo, zebra, lion and more. 

The recording was made in January 2017.
