Awesome Tour! - The tour was amazing! Not only was the cultural experience of Lesedi unforgetable, but also Tinyiko was an incredible driver and guide! He even went so far as to teach us songs and facts about the city as we drove to and from our destinations! Additionally, we were able to safely leave items on the bus while at our destinations. Would definitely recommend!

An Unforgettable Experience at Lesedi Cultural Village - Our visit to Lesedi Cultural Village was truly an unforgettable experience, made even more special by our excellent driver Carson. The hotel pickup was punctual, and we were warmly welcomed. The scenic drive to the village offered breathtaking views and was a relaxing way to start the tour. Upon arrival at Lesedi, we were immersed in a vibrant and educational cultural experience. The tour was both informative and highly interactive, offering a unique insight into the diverse cultures and traditions of South Africa’s people. From traditional dances to the detailed explanations of the different tribal homesteads, every part of the tour was thoughtfully presented. Our driver was not only professional and friendly but also very knowledgeable. He went out of his way to ensure we were comfortable throughout the journey and provided interesting commentary along the way. His helpful and courteous nature added greatly to the overall experience. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore South Africa’s rich cultural heritage in an engaging and respectful way. A big thank you to the team for making our visit so memorable!

Lesedi Village A Must - We really did not know what to expect on this tour given a temperature of 16 degrees, but apparently these performers did not seem to know it was cold, they gave their all with an exceptional program that combined history with culture and a whole lot of energy to tell the story on the making of South Africa. Really time well spent. Our driver and guide Padhey did a great job getting us there and keeping us informed throughout.

Mo Africa and Carson are tops for Lesedi tour! - Carson picked us up in the modern and comfortable Mo Africa bus, and sprinkled in a mix of history and modern day trivia into our drive to Lesedi. The Lesedi Village tour was informative, but I really enjoyed the interactive drumming and dancing! The food was also good, I especially appreciated the warm apple pudding and custard on a cold day.

Mr Thapelo is the best tour guide ever!! - I went to the Lesedi village with Mr. Thapelo. It was an amazing experience and a privilege to have him as my guide. He has a brilliant knowledge of South Africa and the area. He even speaks 11 languages fluently, this is so impressive. Best guide I have ever seen! He is very kind and always makes sure you are fine with everything. He gives you a lot of important recommendations and tips about the city. He has a very big heart. I had the best experience with Mr Thapelo. I would always recommend him 1000%. He is the best guide I have ever seen!!!
