Man at the Lizauli Village in teh Caprivi aea

This small village is well signposted on the D3511, just to the north of Lianshulu, and is an important attraction for visitors. N$20 is charged as an entrance fee, and visitors are guided around the village where traditional arts and crafts are being practised. Aside from the fascination of the actual attractions – an iron forge, a grain store, and various carvers and basket weavers – a visit here gives a good opportunity to sit down and talk to some local people about their way of life. This is just one of several important community projects in this area.
