The Spirit of Africa

by Gili_S

I also bought this is what they call the Spirit of Africa, the very local Amarula liqueur which is made from the fruit of Marula trees that growing in many regions in western and southern Africa. It is also the official spirit of the world cup 2010 :)

Wild Africa Cream

by Gili_S

As usual I like to buy local drinks and take with me home and no exceptions here, I got this Wild Africa Cream, just be sure to pack in your suitcase or backpack that you check in with and not on hand bad because such large bottles cannot be taken through security in EU if you have connection flights at list until 2013.

Shopping for souvenirs

by Gili_S

South Africa is fantastic place for shopping, whatever your taste they have here magnificent items. Just one tip, I rather stop and buy on the side roads and stands from very local people then in the big shops or at the airport, this way you get it cheaper and help a bit more the local vendors.

Market: Market in Hluhluwe

by omehes

A typical local african street market in the little town of Hluhluwe (market not for tourists at all). We were the only white people there but enjoyed the experience and shopping. The "barbershop" right at the beginning of the market consisted of a little grassy area enclosed by curtains... Don't be afraid to walk it and browse! Mostly food - rice in bags, half green tomatoes, vegetables and some little things. Very cheap for us!

Pavillion Shopping Mall: Everything (Durban)`

by Acirfa

This is a vast mall with an extortionate amount of shops and a great Wimpy Bar and let me tell you a Wimpy Bar in SA is not like one in the UK, it is fabulous, my fav breakfast here was a Fruit salad with yogurt whilst my friends was a slap up full cooked brekky. Heaven!
