San village?

by Christina

Is there an opportunity to visit a San Village? I realize that most of the population resides in the Kalahari but wondered if any communities existed near the Victoria Falls area (within 2 hours drive)

San settlements in Zimbabwe and Botswana
by: Tony

Hi Christina

The San bushman have not been present in Zimbabwe for a long time. They used to have settlements in the Matobo hills of Zimbabwe, close to Bulawayo and this is a fantastic place to go and see their paintings and old settlements. Very spiritual and beautiful place. That is about 5 hours drive from Vic Falls.

The closest living San settlements today are in Botswana, I think around the Central Kalahari area. Which is a long drive from Victoria falls. The Tsoldilo Hills in Botswana is a world heritage site which also has a lot of San history
