Helpfulness
Most of the shops have a variety of products. This one had great homemade nougat and relatively cheap clothing items. Shops are aimed at tourists and prices are quite high.
What to buy: Nougat and hand-knitted scarfs. There are other clothing items and sweets and a lot of other small items as well. Lots of handmad African jewellery but I found these cheaper at the informal stands at waterfalls and the potholes in Bourke's luck.
What to pay: Scarf - R40 - about $7.
Nougat - big - R12 $2
