Your San guide will teach you a little of the information that can be read in the bushes, beside the water hole and in the wind.
But don’t worry, this ancient knowledge will be blended with a new world ride on! Khwa ttu’s famous, green tractor.

Join this tour and discover that the more you know, the less you need.
