A traditional Zambian village

We have just returned from a ‘traditional village’ called Mukuni . It is a genuine village and you get a bit of a feel for how people live. The population is 7,000 and many people live in traditionally constructed houses like the ones pictured. Although traditional it geared at tourists and at the end you get to do an obligatory tour of a craft market. Difficult to say whether the stuff we bought was made there or massed produced. We proved to be terrible at haggling, but enjoyed the overall experience. Best of all the guide is local and all proceeds appear to benefit local community projects. You can book the trip through Chris Mweetwa chrismweetwa@gmail.com.
