Discover Lesedi African Lodge and Cultural Village, a exciting showcase of African Culture. As the sun sets over the African bush, guests are escorted by the Cultural hosts of Lesedi for an experience of a lifetime and introduced to the art, dancing, history, tribal legend and cuisine of five of Southern Africa's greatest tribes.
The cultural programme begins with a multi-visual presentation on the history and origins of today's rainbow nation, followed by a tour of four ethnic homesteads - Xhosa, Zulu, Pedi and Basotho. Guests are then escorted to the Boma for traditional singing and dancing and the people of Lesedi tell stories that date back to the days of their ancestors.
Lesedi is a Sotho word that means light. It was made famous by the great leader and founder of the southern Sotho nation, Moshoeshoe. During the terrible Mfecane wars, refugees from many nations joined him, and were saved by him. Each morning Moshoeshoe would walk out into the new day with this expression on his lips: 'Ke bona Lesedi' (I see the light).
A traditional African-style feast is served in the restaurant. At the end of the evening, guests can either gather around the open fire and talk late into the night, or be escorted back to their cosy huts by members of their host family.
