Kome Cave Dwellings

Ha Kome Cave Village is located in the Pulane area of the Berea district. The caves were a refuge for the Basia and a Bataung clan during the Lifaqane War and cannibalism.

This cave is still inhabited by their descendants to this day. There are also faded San paintings in the cave showing that the San occupied the cave for some time before the arrival of the Basia only briefly.

The Kome Crafts and Information Office is about 500 meters from the cave on a path that features locally produced crafts, including crafts from Lesotho Mountain Crafts in Teyateyaneng, 21 km from the center. You will also find a clothing store and a small cafe in the center. At the Kome Crafts and Information Center, you can have a picnic and even barbecue at one of the many stalls. The helpful staff at the center can help you organize walks around the Pulane area and even assist you with guided tours of the Kome Cave Village.
