Lesedi Cultural Village |
Lesedi Cultural Village: Website
The Lesedi Cultural Village comprises four totally separate homesteads, inhabited respectively by a Zulu, Xhosa, Pedi, and Basotho family, all of whom live here permanently looking after the cows, chickens, and tourists that wander through the veld. The 3-hour tour commences at 11:30am and 4:30pm daily.
The evening experience is a recommendation when visiting the Lesedi Cultural Village; it's a great deal more atmospheric at night. On arrival you are given a welcome drink and a 30-minute presentation on these tribes (as well as a short talk on the Ndebele), followed by a guided walk through the four homesteads, which allows for interesting cross-cultural analysis regarding the architectural and social organization and customs of these groups at the turn of the century.
Thereafter, a traditional singing and dancing session is held in the boma (a circular open-air enclosure), and a pan-African buffet meal - representing East, West, North, and South African traditional cuisine - is served. Lesedi Cultural Village is located a convenient 45 minute drive from Johannesburg. |
