What our happy clients say 

I've travelled extensively and have
never found a place with such a wide variety, it's truly one of a kind. They have a huge range of artifacts, clothes, jewelry, art, beaded goods, sculpures & literally anything you can think of. 

Ashley Wilson - USA 

This shop is the BEST with unique items from all over Africa. The owner was very helpful and explained the stories behind the  items in great detail. Stuff for the  kids too! Everything was priced in rands and was very reasonably. We will be back.
