The Tswapong Hills in Botswana have served as a cultural crossroads for almost 2000 years. The San, Venda, Pedi, Ndebele, Birwa, and Ngwato communities have all contributed to the area’s rich culinary and cultural heritage.
The pristine forest of the Hills has traditionally provided the local population with wild vegetables, fruits, and edible insects. With guidance from local hosts, visitors can learn to gather and prepare some of these forest delicacies and enjoy the finest traditional dishes.
During dinner, a multimedia presentation will delve into the geology, prehistory, history, agriculture, and wildlife of the Tswapong Hills. It is hoped that this will inspire guests to extend their visit and discover the hidden wonders of this captivating region.
The farm also hosts a diverse array of local nocturnal wildlife, with many animals being quite approachable. Guests are welcome to explore the farm’s walking trails after dinner. Children particularly enjoy this experience, as the seemingly quiet African bush truly comes to life after dark.
