In our hot African climate the Hammock is the perfect place to be. Safely off
the ground away from those bugs and in the cool refreshing air.
Ideal for reading, listening to music or the radio and for a general feeling
of well being.
African Reading Hammock
Hammocks are 3 or 4 feet wide and roughly 12 feet long. We have found these sizes to be most comfortable.
We weave the hammocks out of natural fibre or synthetic rope. The natural fibres need to be kept in the dry, while the synthetic rope is a thick durable material suitable for any weather outdoors. | |
African Hammock Chair
The Hammock chair is designed to be the ultimate in comfortable chairs, and can be hung from one single point, making it very handy indeed. A foot rest helps you relax and float in the air.
Prices rang from 100,000 to 200,000 Ush. For exact prices please call Mr Simon Lokai for details...

History of the Hammock
The idea of the Hammock spread from the Latin America roughly 500 years ago with
the first international traders. It was quickly adopted and modified by different
nations around the world, each creating their own design and decoration.
In East Africa the early Hammocks were often reserved just for chiefs and
important people
Making the natural sisel rope
A Karamoja man cuts sisel from near his village in Lokopo, he then washes, twists and begins to plat the fibres to make rope.
