Xai Xai village offers the traveller insight into an ancient culture – the San. It is a tough journey to get there given its
remoteness but worth the journey. With the Aha Aha hills as a back drop, we get to learn about the people and how they have
lived for thousands of years. In the morning we take a 3 hour walk to learn about plants, trees and bulbs that have been found
to be useful to the people. In the afternoon we get to sit and chat to the people via an interpreter who will explain beliefs and
customs. You will be quizzed on yours too. We then get taught to play games or watch and listen to some traditional songs. In
the evening, after dinner, we return to their encampment to learn about the trance dance and the healing abilities of the
traditional Doctor.
