5.00We had just half a day in Johannesburg before our flight back to Europe and we're happy we booked a trip with Lesedi Cultural Village. Tsholo was very kind and knowledgeable and he freely shared his knowledge with us. Lesedi village is lovely and worth visiting.

5.00It was a fantastic tour! Mur was an amazing driver and guide, and the Lesedi cultural experience was unforgettable! As we travelled to and from our sites, he even taught us songs and information about the place! We were also able to securely leave belongings on the bus while we were at our locations. Definitely a recommendation!
Fantastic trip

5.00It was a lovely drive there and back. is a really cautious driver, so I felt secure in the vehicle. He told us about South Africa's past. I gained a lot of knowledge. But I knew in advance that the cradle was nice. The village was a lot of fun! I suggest using this tour service. incredibly reliable and affordable.
Sicuramente da visitare!

5.00Situated around one hour away from Johannesburg, the Lesedi Cultural Village boasts a well-organised eating area, restaurant, shops, clean restrooms, and parking. A welcome nook, refreshments, and lots of warm smiles greet us. We are divided into smaller groups to visit depictions of the people's villages after a lively introduction and explanation during which we engage with percussion instruments. There, we learn a little bit about their cultures, attire, customs, and some words and greetings. After that, we enter a lounge where traditional dances are performed, and the tour is concluded with a golden key. It lasts around two hours and begins at 11:30 in the morning. I thought it was amazing! It was well worth it.
Good Experience.

5.00A pleasant experience that is well worth the trip. The lifestyles of the many South African tribes are described by a knowledgeable and amiable guide. After that, there's a delicious hot supper made with local ingredients, including crocodile, and a show with drums and talented dancers! I believe lodges should be comfortable, but we haven't slept yet.
An exceptional experience!

5.00We had a wonderful day in this village. In addition to learning how to play the drums, we also studied a lot of the Zulu and five other historical tribes' histories. I had a great traditional noon buffet lunch. A wonderful day!
