KURU DANCE FESTIVAL

This major cultural festival has been held normally every year since 1997. It is held at Dqae Qare Game Farm, a farm run entirely by Bushmen, near D'Kar in the Kalahari. It brings together hundreds of Khoisan from all over Botswana, sometimes even from Namibia and South Africa. The festival lasts two to three days and consists of many dances, games and traditional meals. It is organized by the different Dan Trusts. Alcohol is generally prohibited because of the devastation it causes in these communities.
