Day Trips Available From Shi-awela
Venda : 1/2 day trip
Depart from Shi-awela after breakfast, and journey into rural VENDA. Watch the skilled pinch pot masters make simple clay come to life. Seemingly unaffected by modern technology, this window into the rural life is inspiring. May continue into Louis Trichardt local town for some shopping or errands.
Soutpansberg Mountain: 1/2 to full day
Depart from Shi-awela after brunch, and journey along the N1 north, through the Soutpansberg mountains, and then head west. Climb, climb and climb some more… fortunately the vehicle does the work. Enjoy a refreshing beverage from the top.
Drink in the beautiful views, and hopefully view some of the unique wildlife.

There are many options of activities to do, including a walk up Debengeni Falls, Zip lining over waterfalls, visit Kaross Embroidery (a cultural experience), do a craft gin tasting, or a visit to the predator park. We will have lunch at a local restaurant enjoying the area.
