This soulful place embraces a pristine indigenous forest with massive moss-covered trees where ancient Yellow-woods carry an energy all of their own. Burbling streams make their way over boulders to the dams below. Here, nature's tranquillity is broken only by booming Samango monkeys, croaking crimson-winged Knysna Turacos and Bushbuck barks. Kurisa Moya has mountains, rivers, indigenous forests and bushveld
On your guided nature walk, with South Africa’s top Bird Guide, David Letsoalo, you will feel that there is something powerfully restorative in being surrounded by ancient trees in an untouched forest and by being all alone in this tranquil place. Silence, peace and beauty all combine to make you feel that your spirit is full to the brim and that the world is a magical place.

Day 6
Mafefe Village cultural tour and home-stay gives you a true experience of South African village life. Staying at the Ga-Malahlela Village near Kurisa Moya or the Mafefe Village near the Wolkberg you will be guided by an experienced guide into the fascinating world of Sotho Culture. Visit the graves of the chiefs, the cannibal caves, and the sacred Baobab grove and hear about Chief Sekukune and the legacy of the Sotho Chiefs. As you settle into the rhythm of village life, the cow bells and the rhythmic pumping of water or the chopping of firewood blend with the exuberant voices of kids playing soccer or of women discussing the day’s events. The wafting smell of cooking fires promises delicious treats to come.
You will help ‘your’ family with the daily chores of collecting wood and water, herding the cows and goats and preparing the family meal. After you have enjoyed your traditional Sotho meal, you can sit around the campfire and hear the Sotho myths and legends, still relevant to the modern villagers. This fascinating look into real South African village life is a rare opportunity and it will enrich you and leave you with the knowledge that you have truly experienced Africa.
