This was a wonderful experience with thoughtful and well-informed guides who transported us to the museum and cultural village. We joined other tour groups and really relished the whole outing. Highly recommended.
I thoroughly enjoyed the Lesedi Cultural Village and Cradle of Humankind tour with Albert from Pure Diamond Tours. Initially, I had booked the 8 am tour but overslept, yet the company kindly accommodated me with a later tour that same day, for which I am very thankful. At the Cradle of Humankind, I explored the various stages of humanity, gaining insights into our evolution, diet, and lifestyle. Then we drove for 30 minutes to Lesedi Cultural Village, where I learned about South Africa's major tribes through engaging activities, performances, and a delicious meal at the end. This tour was fantastic, and I gained a wealth of knowledge. I highly recommend Pure Diamond Tours for the Lesedi Cultural Village and Cradle of Humankind tour, especially if you can have Albert as your guide.
We found this visit to be quite informative and engaging. Learning about the various tribes was particularly enjoyable for us.
The information provided about the various tribes and their lifestyles was fascinating. It was a pleasure to observe the diverse village structures. My guide, Billy, was extremely helpful throughout the experience.
The driver was polite and on time. The visits to the museum and Ledesi Village were both valuable experiences. My only issue was that the car had a strong scent that caused me to cough.
Visiting the Village of Lesidi was incredible. The tour guide was excellent, and I loved the atmosphere, the dancing, and the shopping. It truly had everything! I would gladly return and recommend it to friends coming in December, although I could have skipped the stop at the Cradle of Humankind.
This tour turned out to be quite frustrating. We were paired with a couple who had booked different tours. The driver lacked knowledge of the routes and schedules, and had poor people skills.
Visiting a village for the first time was a wonderful experience. I appreciated their culture, and the guides were excellent. Thank you!
Marencop is more geared towards families, yet it's enjoyable for people of all ages. Lesedi offers a fun experience, though it feels somewhat commercial. I particularly enjoyed the Sterkfontein Caves. Overall, it was an entertaining and educational day.
The experience was outstanding. Upon arrival, we enjoyed a drumming lesson followed by a guided tour of various tribal 'villages' in the area. Our guide shared in-depth insights into each culture, demonstrating both humor and comprehensive understanding. The tribal dance performance and the boma meal were also excellent. Overall, it was a truly memorable experience.
