Itinerary
Our village tour aims on giving first hand authentic experience of going through a modern village and spend some time with the people and learn about their culture. The tour activities depend on how much time available and the interest of clients or the person booking the tour. The tour may involve a visit to pre-school, spent time with Shangaan women to see how they prepare the local food (maybe taste some local food), one or two stops to see and interact with some local traditional dancers, a visit to a traditional healer and a stop at Madilika craft centre. (Madilika is 12-member co-operative that runs a beautiful and colorful shop nearby Newington gate) By offering tours into the village provide income and funding to the villagers and the same time our clients get better real life experience.

This was a very educational and enjoyable experience. We visited Happy Homes Preschool with precious children being cared for by loving teachers in a very rural area. We met a traditional doctor who uses plants and extracts from plants to help heal ailments. There was a talented group of men and women singers who harmonized beautifully. Finally, we were brought to a nicely set table where we were shown how to make pap, a thick cornmeal dish that is a staple of the people’s diet along with a few other traditional foods. We really enjoyed ourselves and learned a lot. We appreciated the convenience of being picked up at 9 and returned at 1300 to our resort.
The children were amazing, we loved the school administrator who showed us around. Everyone was great. The entertainment was awesome!
