Very nice place to visit! The people showed us several wonderful Swazi dances (see pictures). A guide gave us a tour over the camp. He gave some information about the history. There is a very nice waterfall. The entrance fee is 1500 Rand per person which is really worth the money.

The village was alive with cultural activities. We were given a tour guide and a bit of background history about the village. It has hiking trails , a very nice cosy bar and beautiful works of art. We were serenaded by different cultural dance groups.Its a beautiful nature reserved place with a sight for beautiful pictures , the place is loved by friendly monkeys and apes. Please do visit this place if you are a historic person.💜💙🩵
