Is a day at !Kwah Ttu worth it?

Hi everyone! I’m still planning my Cape Town to Johannesburg trip in January 2027. I saw a documentary about the San people in Namibia, and the same day, I stumbled upon the Lonely Planet page about !Kwah Ttu. I checked out their website to learn more, including Michel’s travel journal about it. I’m really keen to go. So, I’m thinking of dedicating: - either 1 day out of the 4.5 I have in Cape Town... - or making a detour to !Kwah Ttu on the day I leave Cape Town for Montagu, instead of visiting Franschhoek and its Saturday market... To the VFers who’ve already been: is it really worth spending a day there? Thanks in advance for your feedback! Malijp

Here’s a tough choice between two cultures! 😉

Let’s just say !Khwa ttu is one of a kind, while Saturday markets are everywhere in the country. I’d do it on the way out of Cape Town, and if the day feels too long with the San, the Yzerfontein area isn’t without its charm.

Thanks Voyajou for the tips! Let's go! Malijp

Hi

For me... I think half a day is enough.

It’s a chance to take a step toward the country’s first inhabitants... have lunch there...

I enjoyed it

If you’re staying overnight... opt for accommodations near the main site instead of those on the other side of the road. Don’t forget the West Coast National Park right next door!

Thanks Michel for your feedback! We won’t be staying there—I’ve already booked all our accommodations for the start of the trip. I’m thinking of it more as a day trip to explore San history from Cape Town... We’ll see, since we only have 4.5 days in Cape Town. I’ve added it to our list of possible interests... Malijp

Good option
