The Lesedi Cultural Village。

Am I really going to write about this?  Let’s be frank.  I visited this place and not at the same time.  Why?  Because we went there in the afternoon at around 3pm but the evening tour entry was only starting at 4.30pm.  While we were not determined to do the full tour, i.e. the dinner, there was no other alternative to enter without taking the full tour package.  Hence, we decided to give it a skip and only spent some times strolling around the handicraft shops in front of the reception.

As I could remember, the tour package cost around 400 Rand and would take approximately two hours to complete.  Included in the tour package is the tour guide, introduction to the cultural of the five biggest tribes in South Africa, the cultural dance and the dinner or lunch.  For someone who would like to know about South Africa’s people and cultural but couldn’t afford a long stay at South Africa, this tour definitely is a quick introduction.

Perhaps sometimes in the future, I should be coming back for a “Truly South Africa” experience.
