Located in west-central Burkina Faso, Da Village is one of the typical traditional villages in sub-Saharan Africa, belonging to the region of Boucle du Mouhoun. With a predominantly savannah climate, the inhabitants are mostly farmers, cultivating millet, maize and peanuts and leading a self-sufficient life. The village retains its traditional dome-domed mud huts and communal council chambers, and has a strong Mossi culture, with regular traditional dances and rituals, showcasing West Africa's original cultural charm. Though small, Da Village unites the simplicity and resilience of rural Burkina Faso, and is a window into local folklore and an excellent place to explore the traditional way of life in West Africa.
Chókwe is located in Zambezia Province in southern Mozambique and is the administrative center of Chókwe District, about 220 km from the capital Maputo. Situated along the Limpopo River, the city is strategically located and serves as a trade hub for the surrounding agricultural areas.
Shaukwe was an important settlement under Portuguese rule during the colonial period and gradually developed into an agricultural center after independence. The economy is predominantly agricultural, producing corn, cotton and citrus, with large-scale farming supported by the irrigation system of the Limpopo Valley. In recent years, small businesses and services have also emerged.
The local population is mostly Saukwe and retains its traditional customs and language. The city is well connected to Maputo and Beira via the EN1 national road, but infrastructure remains to be developed. Saukoue attracts a small number of tourists with its rustic countryside and riverside views, and is a window into Mozambique's interior.
