Visit the Lesedi Cultural Village for cultural immersion before traveling to the Lion Park for unforgettable wild encounters.
The tour travels through the scenic Hartbeespoort region to the Lesedi Cultural Village, where the Monati Cultural experience is enjoyed. Lesedi is a multicultural village set in pristine bushveld amongst rocky hills, less than an hour's drive north of Johannesburg. At Lesedi, the cultures, customs, and traditions of four of South Africa's tribes are brought to life.
The most well-known of these tribes is the Zulu, Southern Africa's warrior nation, which the legendary King Shaka once led. He is generally revered as the most outstanding native military tactician ever to do battle in Southern Africa. The tour provides unique insight into the lifestyle of the Zulus. Other tribes in this cultural experience are the Xhosa, Basotho, and Pedi. A tribal dance demonstration is followed by a culturally inspired lunch, after which the tour goes to the Lion Park.
The visit to the Lion Park provides an informative insight into Africa's most feared and respected predator. A local expert provides information on lion habits and behavior. Guests then have the opportunity to get up close to several of these cats. In addition to lions, the park is also home to numerous other predators and herbivore species. After the Lion Park visit, we return guests to their overnight destinations.
