Meet the San, one of the last hunter-gatherer peoples on earth, and learn more about their traditions. ‎ !Khwa ttu is a San cultural and educational center located on an 850-hectare nature reserve 70 kilometers north of Cape Town, South Africa.

As a non-profit organization, !Khwa ttu has been providing jobs and practical training for young San from all over Southern Africa since 1999. The center is run entirely by the San themselves and therefore offers an exchange at eye level and encounters away from colonial structures. ‎ On arrival, you can discover the surrounding nature reserve up close on a game drive in an open jeep. The next day you have the choice of participating in two activities of your choice and learning more about the culture of the San: Our tours are: ‎ -Tea tasting - the pharmacy of the steppe -First people - food of the ancestors -Encounters - when cultures meet -The way of the San - hunting and gathering -Searching for traces - reading the signs
