This was a great tour. The cultural center was fun and Jason was a wonderful tour guide. I loved learning about the different villages.

As a local South African, we are always reminded of the diverse cultures in South Africa. Yet, I think very few people really know and understand what it means.
A visit to Lesedi Cultural Village, is truly an eye opener, and I can't think of any better way to See, Hear and Experience the way of other Cultures.
You get to "visit" 5 types of "mini villages", and get a look-see of how they would live, and create their homes out in the vast South African lands.
Its about 2-3 hours visit to the Village, walking in between the 5 villages.
There is also a short sing and dance show. You then also have the option to enjoy a lunch or dinner with a variety of South African dishes.
(They also have accommodation available for those who wish to try out the African Way of living.)
