Day Tours to our Village

Tourists visiting the park go on a guided tour through the villages, are treated to folk dance and other cultural performing arts and enjoy food and refreshments in the village or in the restaurants. Approximately one hour must be allowed for a tour and at least one and a half hours when a meal is included.

Day tours of the area and the local rural communities are arranged on request.

Guides
Our guides are well informed members from our community with extensive experience in hosting guests assuring that the time spent at Matsamo will both be interesting and entertaining.

Combos
Over the last few years a day at Matsamo became a don’t miss experience on the itinerary of virtually every tourist travelling in the vicinity of our village. To accommodate guests we introduced combo packages which include a tour, show and breakfast, lunch or dinner (refer tariffs)

A traditional African village is organised around family relationships and creates household activity areas and places for special occasions such as religious ceremonies. Traditions of our farming communities are central to our social life, settlement patterns, animal husbandry, agriculture, technology and trade.

Guests can wander through the village with its many huts and seclusions, each allocated for a specific social function and interact with the Villagers as they go about their daily activities. Traditional African crops are cultivated, the Nguni cattle herd can be seen, traditional food is prepared and ancient crafts are being practised.

We recall old customs and marvel at the harmony which exists between man and nature in Africa. For a moment in time you wiil be part of our family to be remembered by us long after you have gone.

The highlight is certainly the song and dance performed by the Villagers, which usually result in keen participation by guests.
