Meet a local guide and sangoma in Moletjie

The tour begins in the picturesque village of Moletjie, where you meet your local guide and a sangoma. The next few hours give you a real sense of the vibrant life and energy of a rural village in Limpopo.

The sangoma shows you the practice of "bone throwing" and explains its place in village life.

A traditional brew and meal at a Moletjie shebeen

Lunch is a traditional African meal and a taste of traditional brew at one of Moletjie's popular shebeens. It is where the village meets, and the best place to sit and talk.

By donkey cart to the royal kraal

The tour rounds off with a donkey cart ride through the village to the royal kraal of the local Kgosi. From there we return to Polokwane.
