Description
!Khwa ttu The San Culture & Education Centre !Khwa ttu is the ultimate destination for the discerning visitor. This is the home, workplace, culture and training centre for Southern Africa's first people - the San. (In the past, called 'Bushmen').

The San are an ancient hunter-gathering people who, in more recent decades, have encountered poverty and discrimination. Yet, !Khwa ttu is not a monument to suffering or misery. It is a living celebration of past and present San culture; an uplifting and inspirational experience.

Set within the ancestral lands of the Xam San, !Khwa ttu is based on an 850ha nature reserve, nestled on the hillside on the South African West Coast and offers stunning views over the Atlantic Ocean, rolling bushlands and Table Mountain.

The project itself is housed within a series of lovingly restored old West Coast farm buildings whilst teh surrounding nature reserve teems with an abundance of bird life, game and Fynbos.

Visitors can leave !Khwa ttu with the satisfaction of having supported a San-owned development project.
