Lesedi Cultural Village a must see - Our guide was friendly and a wonderful storyteller. The entertainment was inspiring and all the people who performed were amazing. The dinner that was included in our tour was tasty and the crocodile very tender. Highly recommend this experience.

Luxurious rooms in the jungle? Ostrich or crocodile for dinner? and so realistic feeling! - Several tribes have little mini villages set up and you visit and see their way of life with cooking demos, singing and crafts. The tribal groups are dressed in traditional clothing and appear to be real. They actually live at the site and if you spend the night like I did for 2 nights you can meet them walking around or cooking their breakfast on an early morning walk. If you can try and stay in the Ndebele rooms as they are magnificent. Complete with wifi and luxurious beds and fixtures. Simply fantastic. And the food? I told the head coof I was vegan and he had special food for me at every meal. Buffet style and such a variety that was hot and delicious. I could eat there everyday. And if you are a meat eater? Oh MY!!! They had all kinds of strange things to try like crocodile and ostrich and snake! Gotta go there!

You get to do a walking tour of the village which is also a resort. At the end there was a pan-African buffet which was excellent. Definitely recommend.</p>
