African goods store

👍👍 Good place to shop in South Africa. They have all kind of stuff including ostrich egg, animal skin, original leather, stuffed animals, antique instruments, key chain and fridge magnet etc. Cost is slightly on higher side but products here are authentic. Please check the items before you leave. People often mention African, shop, souvenirs, selection,

    I have to give them a 1 star as they are not an honest company. I purchased an item which was to be shipped to my home in the US. Less than 6 hours after purchasing I decided to cancel. The shop promised to refund my credit card, it has now been over a month and I’m still having difficulty with them crediting my account. Buyer beware in making large purchases from this shop as you will not have any recourse with them refunding your money! I noticed most of the 5 stars are from local guides as they probably receive kick backs bringing their tourist to the shops.

    Amazing items for sale! Exotic skins, mounts, jewelry, and crafts. You will find something distinctively African.

    This has lots of great souvenir shopping, including beautiful animal skins. The prices are reasonable and the people are really nice. You can also pick up a cappuccino when you are there.

    Fantastic place to visit if you are looking for quality souvenirs from Africa. They have everything from inexpensive trinkets to very expensive jewelry, statues, pelts, and more. They have a cafe on site as well if you are hungry. The prices were great (at least when using the US dollar thanks to a great exchange rate). Ostrich eggs were much cheaper and had a better selection than those you find in the airport.

    It's a one stop souvenirs and gift solution if you are visiting SA for short duration. The place has it all. Prices are fixed but a 20% discount is available to diplomats.

    Always a pleasure shopping here. Wide selection of curios and jewelry. Even got offered a cappuccino.

    If you are shopping for African-themed souvenirs from your trip to SA, this is your one stop. Best selection and prices, hands down!

    This is a great place to buy African and especially South African artifacts of good quality at a realistic price . International guests appreciate the selection. Management and staff are extremely helpful and friendly.

    Supposedly a wholesaler of curio and souvenirs. They have a huge showroom with almost African item you can think of. Prices are average retail but the selection is enormous.

  • 5/5 Jonah D. 3 years ago on Google
    Great selection and good prices, especially considering the environment and lack of pressure like in the markets. Will return.

    Don’t be afraid of buying tanzanites and other gems in the jewelry corner - you can really find a good one if you’re persistent. My tanzanite loose gem is of a good quality and a genuine tanzanite, though be aware that loose gemstones there are way overpriced. Otherwise it’s a cool shop to choose from endless African souvenirs variety! cheers
