Excursão cultural imersiva para pequenos grupos em Maun

A great introduction to Malawi and the culture. It was an interesting trip with plenty of variety and the 3 people in my party were the only ones taking part, making it very personal. The guide was very knowledgeable and helpful and the trip felt very safe.

Lovely experience giving us a casual, insider-look into daily life in Maun. It felt very natural and immersive. Kay picked us up at our lodge and was very friendly, personable and knowledgeable. It was a great start to our safari and gave us a unique perspective on life in Botswana. The traditional lunch was a hit, espeically the gemere - a delicious and refreshing ginger drink. Thank you!!

A great way to spend a free afternoon in Maun. Kay was lovely and had lots of interesting things to tell us and show us. Gives a good insight into Botswana and its people in Maun. Friendly and safe.

Had a very educational experience! Learned so much more about Botswana!

This is a must for anyone visiting Botswana who wants to understand the people as well as experience the wonderful wildlife. Kay introduced us to the culture, history, and the 18 distinctly different tribes of Botswana. We sat with Onalenna and Moengere, master basket weavers, at their home in Maun. We visited the town market filled with daily wares and friendly faces. We finished with a sampling of local cuisine at Planet Culture Café where the owner carries on his grandmother's recipes. On safari in Botswana, you immerse in the incredible wildlife, expansive wilderness, and the vibrations of uninterrupted nature, but the experience is incomplete without spending time among the people of Botswana.

I really enjoyed this tour with Kay, she told us so many interesting stories about the town if Maun and the people of Botswana. Stories I have not heard within my two weeks of travelling in Botswana before. She showed us several handcraft production sites where we had the chance to see how e.g. baskets were produced while we had a chance to chat with the ladies producing handcrafts. Thank Kay, it was a wonderful experience.

This tour was amazing! It gave me real insight in local live and customs. Kaye, the tour guide, is very knowledgeable and friendly. I really appreciated these 3 hours. It was a perfect addition to my safari tours.

An absolutely fantastic tour ps led with fascinating information about Botswana culture and traditions - including the negotiation for bride price even modern women like our guide and business owner Kay will do- where the uncles from prospective bride and grooms meet to negotiate bride price (valued in cattle) to the three months isolation a new mother and baby take part in to the two types of justice - social justice is administered within a day by the chief of one of 28 principalities and uses communication, cooperation and forgiveness to restore harmony - and civil law involving police and courts. We learned to weave baskets with local tribe sisters, ate local traditional food, visited a street artist and a local market and more. I highly recommend this tour- even if you only have a few hours in Maun Kay and her team will collect you at the airport. Support this entrepreneur and the local craftspeople and businesses she features!

Kay, the guide, and the men and women we met made this tour wonderful! Learning about the many ethnic groups in Maun and their relationship to each other, gave us a new appreciation for the country. Most impressive was learning about how they care for a mother after she has given birth. You'll have to go on the tour to learn about that! We also learned about the traditions the couple must go through before marriage. I loved meeting the artisans at the many tour stops, especially the women who make the baskets. Each basket has an extraordinary story (could be about zebras, turtles, giraffes, etc). The sisters make the best baskets in the country in my opinion. I wish I would have purchased more. I even tried my hand at making a basket but was a total failure, lol. Lunch was delish at Planet Culture. Lastly, I enjoyed learning about the meaning of a person's name. It often had a long story behind it which gave me an even deeper understanding of the culture.

This was a last minute booking because of a delay in our departure from Botswana to Cape Town; it ended up being the best thing that could have happened! Such a worthwhile and informative tour. And fun! We had a great time and purchased some wonderful gifts! Of course, we loved the fact that Travel for Impact is making such a positive difference in the community!!
