The Xhosa people are universally friendly. Everyone welcomes you. Sometimes it’s a shy smile or a wave. Sometimes it’s a loud cheer. Sometimes it’s a nod of the head.

We make a point of interacting with as many people as possible. It paves the way for other tourists to enjoy the Pondoland way of life.
