Visit and experience the true idea of a traditional South African culture at Lesedi Cultural Village, roughly an hour’s drive north of Johannesburg and set amongst rocky hills and bushveld, is a perfect day outing. Lesedi, which is seSotho for ‘light’, was initiated in 1995 as a tourist attraction and today features five traditional dwellings, each representing a South African culture: Pedi culture, Zulu culture, Xhosa culture, Basotho culture and Ndebele culture.
Each of these families lives here permanently, looking after cows, chickens and tourists, and tours through their homes offer interesting cross-cultural comparisons of the customs and social organisation of the different cultures. The Nyama Choma restaurant offers a Pan African Buffet in true African style, after which visitors are invited to gather around a fire to share in some ‘mamba juice’, a unique Lesedi drink, before the story telling and singing and dancing begin.
If time permits, a shopping experience of a lifetime awaits every visitor in the vibrant, living Ndebele craft market and Curio shop with its decorative walls and courtyards before departing.
