Colourful Huts

These colourful Ndebele huts are situated inside the Botanical Gardens east of the city center. These traditional huts with thatch roofs are often painted with an attractive array of creative patterns. I always enjoy looking at them when driving through the country side. The inside of the huts are amazingly cool even on a very hot summers day thanks to the thatch roof.

They're lovely! When I was in South Africa, I spent the night in one of those (really designed for tourists, tho), and loved it.
