Ledisi Cultural Village for the win! - Everything about this experience was exceptional, starting with the high-energy and good natured attitude of our driver, Happiness! What a way to embody a name.
He shared a lot of information with our small group on the drive to the village and when we arrived the locals did a fantastic job of welcoming us. In addition to the introduction to tribal life and customs, there was a drumming session, a traditional dance performance and a fantastic meal. Can’t recommend this experience enough for anyone interested in the tribal history of South Africa. Great way to spend a day.

The solo session was worth the half day trip! There's eye for details of each traveller. - I was able to practice solo drum session with a coach. The experience was extraordinary for me. Overall, the group session as too commercialized with pre-planned stage performances. I prefer the solo session which is more immersive and satisfying. I was able to come back to the hotel early as alternative arrangements were made due to a member of the group wants to do some more shopping. Thanks for the catering and planning the personalized course for customer's convenience.

Ultimate Village Tour - Great experience with Tour Guides, Khutso and Gasa that picked us up from hotel and dropped us off at our desired destination. They were professional throughout our tour and were willing to help to our every need The Lesedi Tour of the selected tribes itself was informative and exciting while learning about each of the tribal villages and their background and history.

A great taste of traditional villages in South Africa - Lesedi Cultural Village gave us a unique taste of traditional village life in South Africa. The village recreations were realistic and the commentary informative with some humour thrown in. The dance and singing performance was amazing were were aborted from the opening moments. Lunch was also very good with a nice buffet selection. We would thoroughly recommend a visit.
