During a break in our Panorama Route tour in Graskop we visited Africa Silks to buy some real Africa souvenirs like handcrafted textiles etc. In the shop, we experienced a warm and heartily welcome with singing from the women working in the shop. We visited the workshop and met the spinning and weaving women there. The shop's head gave us excellent advice and selected some wonderful scarfs for us. Additionally, wo decided for some more scarfs in beautiful colours. For all four completely handcrafted silk scarfs -- from producing, dyeing and spinning to weaving the silk -- we paid an absolutely fair price. Please don't try to bargain, this has no use and would be a shame.

We stayed at the Africa Silk Farm for a night in the tent. The tent gave us a real feeling of being close to nature as we were surrounded by macadamia trees. The tent was equipped very well with braai tools, fridge and microwave with cutlery and some pots and dishes.
We loved the stay with the gorgeous setting, friendly service and smiling owners. We got a free ginger beer and did the silk tour where a smiling lady explained the whole process of silk creation to us.
There was a well maintained 3 kms gravel road to the farm which does not require a 4X4.
A lovely experience just 20 minutes out of Graskop. We would definitely stay here again!

Very interesting shop where you can see the ladies demonsting how silk is spun and weaved by hand.We were allowed to tour the silk weaving part of the shop where the guide showed us he the silks were made and how to get different silks. So interesting that we bought several gifts from here. We were the only people on our tour who visited here as the other were having a pancake lunch and they wished they had foregone the meal and had a private tour instead.
