First People - food from the ancestors with private San Guides

Walk with us into the past. Let us introduce you to our shared story of human origins in South Africa.

Hear what archaeologists can tell us about our ancestors who lived in this region for 200,000 years and

let us show you how we have kept this knowledge alive. Use the tools, hear the knowledge and try the

food that made life possible.

The Way of the San - Spirit, hunting and gathering

12,000 years ago we were all hunter gatherers. We knew that we, the land, the plants, the animals and

the elements were all connected. We understood not only how to live, but how to live well in the world.

Discover that the more you know, the less you need.

The veld pharmacy

San and other indigenous people have always understood the plants around them were so much more

than simply pretty flowers or a tasty snack. 12,000 years ago we were all hunter-gatherers. Rediscover

some of the powerful knowledge you have lost - what to use to win a wife, or heal a wound, or

keep you alive on the long journey ahead. If lucky, you may also meet our chickens and hear one of

their stories in |Xung.

 Return to the pier thereafter.
