With its roots deep in the heart of the sub-Saharan bushveld, the Marula tree has ancient ties to South Africa's indigenous people and animals. Throughout history the Marula fruit has been used for medicinal purposes, fertile ceremonies and local rituals. Today, six South African companies are creating marula beers and marula cream liqueurs that are now the world's number three selling cream liqueur. We embark on an amazing journey of discovery, revealing ancient tribal customs, exotic animals and the delicious enigma of the Marula.
