Gantsi Craft

Botswana


This cooperative was established in 1983 as a craft outlet and training centre for the San. It’s an excellent place to shop for traditional San crafts, including hand-dyed textiles, decorated bags, leather aprons, bows and arrows, musical instruments and woven mats. Prices are 30% to 50% lower than in Maun or Gaborone.

All proceeds go to artists from 15 San settlements across the western and southern Kalahari. There's a small museum at the back of the shop.
