Part of our Gate 1 tour, we visited this candle store. Part of our visit, we learned from start to finish how they make their candles. The candles have different colours, different patterns and shapes. What a learning experience it was . Then walking through the store and buying many shaped candles ( elephants, rhinos, lions, giraffes etc) The area is surrounded by different shops and many markets.

This is a quite large tourist shopping area. The candles are the lead shop, as they put on a continuous display of how they make the candles The other dozen or more shops are selling the usual "souvenirs" that you get anywhere in Africa, and are of dubious provenance It seems a long way to go to buy candles - in fact these do sell on ebay ! My feeling is that this is one of those "day tour" places that give tourists "an opportunity to buy"

Candle shop ok..demonstration on making wax animal candies. There is also a restaurant and a number of shops and stalls of traditional crafts and souvenirs. Be prepared to haggle hard. Worth a stop.
