Abstract
South Africa is experiencing a boom in nature-based tourism in which underdeveloped and previously marginalized homeland areas are not sharing. The aim of this article is to determine some of the crucial constraints which inhibit tourism in these areas, by exploring various tourism development issues based on insights gained from research undertaken in Mavhulani bush cap, a seemingly successful nature based tourism development project. This venture is run on communal trust land in the former Venda homeland area.-
