“It was alright. Place was a bit rundown and in need of maintenance. For what we paid which included transport out of Johannesburg and lunch, value was OK. Was probably better back in the day, but is in need of some money being spent on paths, parking and other aspects. I dread to think what little pay the entertainers and guide receive.”

Review of Lesedi Cultural Village near Johannesburg, with five cultural homesteads, music, dance, guides, transport, and a traditional meal.
“L'accueil en chanson fait bonne impression, le personnel chargé de l'animation est très avenant. La visite est essentiellement basée sur le visuel : reconstitution de huttes traditionnelles et scènes jouées par le personnel. Le spectacle de danse est très agréable et impressionnant mais tout le reste paraît artificiel et semble être monté de toute pièce pour plaire aux touristes occidentaux. Au final, je n'ai pas appris grand chose.”
