Enjoy a visit to the
Lesedi Cultural Village and experience the ethnic heart of
Southern Africa at this unique venue. Take a tour around the many cultural diversities
of our rainbow nation in a natural environment, enjoying their delicious cuisine
and tribal dancing, and meet the Chief in his Royal Kraal.
Lesedi African Lodge is a multi-cultural village set amongst the pristine bushveld
and rocky hills less than an hour’s drive north of Johannesburg. Situated at Lesedi
African Lodge are five traditional homesteads – the Zulus with their fighting sticks
and cosy beehive huts, the Xhosa with their perfectly thatched ‘rondawels’ and distinctive
white blankets, the rhythmic drums and whistles of the Pedi tribe, the conical straw
hats and thick, coloured blankets of the Basotho and the colourful homes of the
Ndebele.
Families peacefully living their traditional lives inhabit each homestead at Lesedi.
Additional huts for each village have been constructed in each homestead offering
the unique opportunity of staying with a traditional rural African family – however,
all home comforts have been catered for including cosy beds and beautiful en suite
bathrooms with showers.
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.
Lesedi African Lodge awaits those willing to participate in an adventure that reveals
the mystical cultures and traditions of the people of Africa, steeped in tribal
folklore and ancestral traditions. Our culture is the light of our nation – whoever
walks here amongst our cultures at Lesedi can also see the light.
