The tiny Xai Xai Village in northwestern Botswana is home to some of the last remaining aborigines of Southern Africa, the San. As part of a national community-based tourism strategy, they can make a profit out of the land and tourism which it generated. You get a deep insight on how the San have lived in the Kalahari as hunter and gatherers for thousands of years. You are also invited to share their famous trance dance with them, combined with healing abilities of the traditional doctors.
