Your host Myxos welcomes you to 'Woza Nawe Tours'
- Responsible Cultural Tours in Swaziland - Southern Africa.

Woza Nawe Responsible Cultural Tours offers both one day and overnight cultural tours for interested visitors. Whatever your needs we will cater for them to ensure your trip to Swaziland is a memorable one. For those guests partaking in the overnight tour, accommodation is provided in traditional Swazi beehive huts.

Woza Nawe Tours not only gives visitors a taste of rural life in Swaziland, but also provides a source of income for the local families. This income helps these local families to remain self sufficient without them having to migrate into the towns to find employment.

 

One Day Cultural Tour

- We pick you up at 8:00am from wherever you may be staying in the busy town of Manzini (80,000 people).

- Visit the Manzini people's market. Here you will have a taste of a Swazi breakfast or incwancwa (which is pronounced with clicks).

- Craft and fresh vegetable shopping at the market. Walk around and explore the market. Maybe even get a skirt or pants made with fabric of your choice.

- Check the traditional medicine stall for local cures for all ailments.

- Leave town and head for rural village of Kaphunga. Learn about Swazi family life and culture. Get a taste of some of the Swazi customs and traditional beliefs. Get to understand the Swazi culture by sitting down with your host Myxos. He will explain all of the traditions and then have some mind blowing discussions about the culture, (one has to be open minded - there is both good and bad).

- Visit the Local families and get to try the siSwati language. See the day to day lifestyle of these friendly and welcoming Swazis.

- Take an easy walk towards the God's window of Kaphunga.

- Chill out with a bit of lizard spotting on the rocks on your guided walk. Get the local information from your guide.
