• 5Well worth coming for a visist

  I combined a visit to Lesedi Cultural Village with the Lion Park, making it a fantastic full day activity. I met Tshepo, who took care of all the logistics, including pickup and transportation. He's incredibly easy to talk to, and we shared many deep and thoughtful conversations along the way, making the drive feel like it lasted only minutes. His openness gave me the opportunity to ask more about South Africa's history, culture, and significant historical events. He spoke with great knowledge and confidence, which enriched the entire experience and gave me a much deeper understanding before arriving at Lesedi. The cultural village itself provides an excellent introduction to South Africa's diverse tribes, their traditions, and the core elements that make each culture unique. Their dances, songs, and traditional attire helped me visualize these cultures far more clearly than I could before my visit. Ending the day at the Lion Park felt like a fitting conclusion. After learning about the deep cultural and spiritual connections many communities have with nature and wildlife, seeing these magnificent animals up close added another dimension to the experience. Together, Lesedi Cultural Village and the Lion Park offer a memorable journey through both South Africa's rich cultural heritage and its remarkable wildlife.

• 5We were delighted by the entertaining and informative story telling, dancing, singing, authentic 5 village tour. tour

  Recommend book thru Thomas Moafrica, MoAfrica +27 60 446 3076. He is much more than a personal driver. He is a guide and historian, with a vast wealth of knowledge about everything South Africa. Not only did he drive us round-trip in his Toyota SUV, but he also stayed with us for our full day experience at Lesedi Cultural Village, in Gauteng Province, 90 minute drive from center city Johannesburg, South Africa. He also added in a short visit to nearby Lions & Safari Park...at no cost! We are indebted to Thomas for taking good care of us all day.

• 5A great transfer experience

  The trip was actually a transfer booked through MoAfrika from Pilanesberg National Park to Johannesburg Airport, which took approximately four hours. Our driver Carson was professional and went above and beyond to make the transfer more than just a transfer driving experience. We asked him questions and he gave us a very interesting and informative history of South Africa over the past 150 years. He was exceptionally knowledgeable and we really appreciated the effort he went to keep us entertained and informed during the trip.

The Apartheid Museum tells the story of segregation and resistance with great power, and Constitution Hill, a former prison where both Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi were held, is home to the Constitutional Court. In Soweto, Vilakazi Street is famous as the street where two Nobel Peace Prize laureates, Mandela and Desmond Tutu, once lived, and the Hector Pieterson Memorial recalls the student uprising of 1976.
