Who hasn’t noticed the impressive, intricately-woven baskets decorating your safari camp tent or main area? Every basket is a statement of natural beauty so expertly woven into the most perfect patterns –beautiful yet humble. Most of the women who weave are baYei or Hambukushu, originating from the north-western regions of the Okavango Delta. For hundreds of years these baskets have played an integral role in village life – not only are they used as storage containers for grains, seeds, fruit, sorghum beer and a variety of other things – but they significantly contribute to a womans’ sense of purpose and identity.
