Traditionel landsby tur i Victoria Falls – kulturel oplevelse

Muzie, Shearwater tours, Victoria Falls, took us on a fascinating, warm, hospital visit to a traditional village outside of Village Falls. On the way he told us about life in the villages and taught me some greetings in the native language. We saw all the village buildings, living rooms, bedrooms, inside and outside cooking huts, livestock, met and talked with the family and children. A highlight was a talk by the village leader who was a traditional healer. In his healing hut, he explained treatments he could do and medicines he used, and when they had to use standard hospitals. We had a family member as guide who talked about daily living, marriage customs, family relationships, how the buildings were constructed, roles of family members, use of livestock (cattle, goats, chicken, pigeons), and the many pet dogs that were used to sound the alarm if any animals approached the fenced but remote village. It was about a 2 hour tour. After, at our request, Muzie took us to a craft market more in town, a good, short stop where I bought some teak bowls as gifts. Bargaining standard there. Muzie was an excellent guide. Informative and attentive to all our needs. Thank you, Muzie, and the people of the Nebedels village
