Information:
The
Bakau Craft Market was established in 1971 at Cape Point by
the women of the area who used to offer for sale crafted African
style items such as beads, masks etc. In 1982 it was moved
opposite to the African Village Hotel side entrance. In 1999
it came to its final location.
There are almost 50 spacious stalls which can allow for 10
visitors. You will find the locals selling a large variety
of tourist souvenirs such as sand paintings, table cloths,
masks, drums, tie dye curtains and sheets, batiks and jewellery
from gold, silver or other materials.
