On the village's main street I found those two young kids performing a funny activity to entertain tourists.

They were executing their job pretty well and I was happy to give them some rands I was bringing in my pocket.

The Elephant, the Leopard, the Buffalo, the Lion and the Rhinocero, all together known as The Big Five are here (see picture) depicted on this one-piece of wood.

I found interesting this Box displayed on the counter of a local shop.

The box was filled with coins and one can read:

People's Box

If you have one
give one
If you need one
take one
