Once past Yzerfontein, we arrive at the West Coast Fossil Park in Langebaan.

Our next stop on the tour is !Khwa ttu. The aim of !Khwa ttu is to bring to light the world of one of Africa’s oldest people – The San people. The main emphasis is “a journey into history facilitated by the San people themselves”. In this way people can celebrate the San culture and help create opportunities for the San community.
