Not quite a museum but certainly a fascinating cultural trip with great curiosities. This traditional medicine or muti shop has been around for over 60 years stocking more than 1900 indigenous herbs prescribed by inyangas (traditional healers). A desiccated monkey carcass has been pinned to the wall for at least the past 20 years and the ceiling is a sea of dried herbs, strings of beads and animal remains. Appointments are available with the resident sangoma who, for a small fee, will throw the bones and advise you on your future.

Open

Open 07:30–17:00, Sat 07:30–13:30. Closed Sun. Closed 25.12, 26.12 and 01.01.
