πŸ‘πŸ‘ Very interesting visit, totally worth it! The greatest part is to hear them chanting and dancing. It's very beautiful. If you don't have the time to do any of the tours you can still come along to buy crafts made by the San community.

    This was amazing ! The views were incredible and we viewed the full lunar eclipse from there. The visit with the sand tribesman was also amazing, and the baboons were entertaining.

    A great demonstration of how the San people live. This is a small outdoor museum where you can witness the San dance and sing as they call for the rain. They also show you how they hunt and answer questions from tourists about how they survive in the harsh desert conditions. They offer a cash only shop where you can buy items made back in their main home village in the upper north part of Namibia.

    The people change residence every three months or so. The people i met were very nice and demonstrating a dying life stile of hundreds of years ago. Learned more on how they lived in the Bush.

    Genuinely friendly folk who are happy to show some traditional crafts and explain how they have lived for hundreds of years. Demonstration of fire making was very impressive.

    Amazing experience. These people are doing everything they can to keep alive their ancient traditions for themselves & for others. We were privileged to be made welcome & allowed to see some of their culture at first hand. If you get the chance, go now before it’s too late.

    A good place to understand the san culture. We walked with our two kids.

    Today we saw that it was closed until the 31th of January 2022 unfortunately because of covid. We drove quite a bit for it unfortunately. Nice to know for others who are planning to visit it in the upcoming days.
