About Thandi
Thandi is a historian and storyteller who specializes in the fascinating gold rush era of Mpumalanga. Her tours of Pilgrim's Rest and Barberton transport visitors back to the 1870s, when fortune seekers from around the world descended on these hills in search of gold. But her expertise goes even further back - to the ancient geological formations of the Barberton Greenstone Belt, some of the oldest rocks on Earth. Thandi weaves together tales of geological time, human ambition, and cultural heritage into tours that are as educational as they are entertaining.
