Overview

Looking to take a private guided day trip beyond Gaborone, come and see what a small beautiful village on the outskirts of the city has to offer. We drive down a tarred open road to Manyana, a village rich in history and culture, where you get to see the only rock paintings available south of Botswana. In great company let's go see some 2000 year old 'Bushmen' rock paintings, as well as a hill which was used during the first defense of Botswana's territory. See the cave that housed a Queen...The village was also home to Dr. David Livingstone before his explorations into central Africa, we get to visit the famous David Livingstone tree located in the heart of the village (on donkey cart if available, should you request it, otherwise we use the car. We request a small token of appreciation for the old man to be given directly by you) and meet other locals along the way. SEE THE BOTSWANA THAT OTHERS DON'T...

Saw lots of animals up close!

Published on Feb, 2025

I did the Manyana village tour and a 10 km hike at the Mokolodi game reserve. Saw hippos, giraffes, zebras, and all kinds of antelope. Saw a 3 ft monitor lizard jump off a 15 ft embankment into the river and some fish hawks. It was hot, so bring lots of water (I drank 3 liters). AMAZING!!

Manyana Village Visit + Mokolodi Nature Reserve

Published on Nov, 2024

We did the full day version of the tour including the Manyana village visit and the Mokolodi Nature Reserve. The rock paintings are spectacular! The village experience was wonderful, with a delicious sorghum snack made for us by our guide, Andy, in the kitchen of a lovely local woman, who very kindly welcomed us into her home. The local guide as well was very charming and made us feel welcome in her village. In the afternoon we participated in a game drive at the nature reserve and enjoyed seeing a number of animals. The vehicle driver/guide was quite knowledgeable about all of them. Our tour group consisted of one adult and one 10-year-old child. The tour was at an appropriate level for both of us. The guides were more than willing to answer all of our questions from and we felt welcome throughout the tour. I would highly recommend this tour for adults or families.

Authentic village visit and game drive

Published on Apr, 2024

What an experience to visit an authentic village on the outskirts of Gaborone, learn how to build a mud hut, discover 2,000 cave drawings, learn about the local plants, trees and herbal medecine, and finish it off with a game drive! This was such an enriching experience. I thoroughly recommend going through Heritage Adventures if you are visiting Gaborone. Top outfit!

Full day experience

Published on Apr, 2024

Wonderful tour to the village of Manyana. In the village you can also experience a rock paintings and see the typical village life. Otto, who owns the tour company with her husband, has learned a lot about herbal medicine from her grandmother, and she shared a lot about the different plants and trees. After the tour to Manyana we went on a game drive and had a super lunch at the game drive restaurant.

Manyana Village Visit

I had a wonderful time! Seeing Manyana and the wall paintings was incredible, once in a life time. Our guide was very knowledgeable and had lots to say about everything.
