MEET THE SAN PEOPLE - The "Bushmen" of southern Africa

• Dqae Qare Viewpoint

  6 hoursAdmission Ticket Included

  We transfer you from your accomodation in Maun or Ghanzi to the Naro San on the edge of the Kalahari Desert where we set up camp for you under camelthorn trees in the red sands The San people have constructed a traditional San village a short walk from the campsite. The village was carefully selected and designed to show the old ways of the San with small grass huts, grass windbreaks and a central dance area. You spend the whole day with a group of san who show you their culture and way of living. On a bush walk the San will gather wild foods, show and interpret the tracks of a wide variety of animals, gather medicinal plants, and generally enthral you with their constant banter and stories. Bush Craft forms a cornerstone of your ability to survive in this often brutal landscape and you will be shown how to make fire by friction, how to make ropes from wild plants and then set an ingenious bird trap, and how to construct beautiful jewellery from ostrich egg shells, and perhaps purchase the piece you have helped create. There will always be time to discuss the old ways and the great challenges of the new as well. After dinner you will experience the trance Dance at night around the campfire, preceded by fascinating and ancient storytelling.
