High-quality tanning; available in a variety of patterns and colours. Nguni hides are highly functional and decorative, they make beautiful floor rugs. Roughly 3m long and 1.5m wide. We also sell the odd Zebra and Wildebeest hide, which are slightly smaller. Please contact us for photos of skins we have in stock. Each hide is unique and can never be replicated. We have categorised them to make ordering easier, but you are always welcome to chat to us directly about your preference. Keep in mind that variation is part of their charm.

Hundreds of years ago, an extraordinary type of cow entered southern Africa. The Nguni Hides are named after the Nguni tribe, who traveled from the north central and eastern parts of Africa and settled in what is now South Africa, crossing the Zambezi River in 600 CE. Descended from the ancient Sanga longhorn cows, depicted in rock art from 8000 years ago in Lybia and the Sahara, as well as in Egyptian pyramids and San rock art, the Nguni Hides are a robust breed.
