Lesedi Cultural Village, Lanseria, South Africa You depart from your hotel in Johannesburg on this culture themed tour heading to Lesedi Culture Village which is a about an hour drive from Johannesburg.
You drive through Johannesburg's leafy suburbs travelling through Johannesburg North en-route the Village. As you progress on the trip, you'll realize that now you are leaving the city and heading out of town. This is characterized again with the terrain of the road as you further pull away from the city to a more countryside type of environment. By now you will start to learn about the Zulus and why they like the fighting sticks, the Xhosa with their trademarks blankets and the drums and whistles of the Pedi people just to mention a few.
Once at Lesedi the atmosphere changes to a traditional set up where you get to see the homesteads in their traditional set-up. You are split to groups to get a feeling of the diversity in culture with each group getting maximum exposure from the various traditional diversity. You also get to know how much dowry each tribe asks for and of course, this is paid in cows and the day will not be over without a taste a local cuisine.
After, you hop back to your tour van and head back to your hotel in Johannesburg.

We had a great Virgio private tour of Soweto yesterday — with an excellent guide — so decided to book this tour through them for today. A big mistake! This tour was private only in the sense of the long drive to and from our hotel to Lesedi, and even this was compromised by having another person along for the ride (his presence was never explained and he didn’t say more than two words the whole trip). Our driver/guide was almost as bad — no personality whatsoever and limited command of understandable English. We had been told that we would have a private guide take us through the various Lesedi villages. Instead, we were put in a group of 40 other people. With this many people, you could hardly hear, hardly see, and wasted much time on everything having to be repeated over and over again. The villages themselves were only mildly interesting and the format was way too touristy and hokey. Our driver/guide wandered around with us but never said a word — not a word! We got so turned off by the crunch of people in our group that we aborted the visit after seeing only 2 of the 5 villages. Don’t waste your money on this tour!
