An interesting exposure to African culture.

A great day out with Pastor. He gave us a lot of history on the journey. The cave was interesting but quite strenuous. The Lesedi village was wonderful. Drumming, energetic dancers, 5 village experiences and a tasty lunch.

Sterkfontein Caves, Cradle of Humankind Museum, Lesedi Cultural Village with lunch

Excellent driver Pastor picked us up on time and gave us plenty of info on the way to Sterkfontein caves. Only the two of us in a minibus. Arrived at 8.30 in time for 9am tour. Tour of caves good but be aware A lot of steps, uneven under foot and you have to crawl through in one place. Not for you if you don't like small spaces. The you group was way too large making hearing the guide difficult Cradle of Humankind museum ok but not worth going just for that. Continued on to Lesedi Village and joined tour. Started with a drumming experience everyone joining in. Then set off to another venue to watch a film about the tribes before going on a guided tour of the village There were a few non English speakers who went off with a guide leaving a very large group with our guide. Difficult to hear what he was saying and see what he was talking about. Being such a large group we were waiting for people to catch up. We can hen went back to watch the drum dance and singing performance which was quite good. From the show we went for lunch. Everyone had a reserved table. Buffet lunch which we enjoyed. Drinks reasonably priced.. Before leaving the village we browsed the souvenirs some nice things that had been made there.

Flawless experience

At the last minute when in Johannesburg recently we booked a half day tour. We so enjoyed this tour that when we returned to the city a couple of weeks later we did two other private tours with KG. We found the company very professional and obliging and KG was sensitive to what appealed to us and was happy to plan the tour around our capabilities and expectations. We would have no hesitations in recommending Mhlanganisi tours. Thanks

Fabulous cave and village tour

The cave/museum was really interesting. We thoroughly enjoyed the visit to the village. Learning about the different tribes and traditions was fascinating. Our driver/host was great and told us all about the history of the area on our drive.

Fun and informative

The Cradle of Humankind museum is informative and interesting, but more geared toward children than adults. I would skip this activity until the Sterkfontein caves are open again and included in the visit. The Lesedi Cultural Village was fun. We enjoyed seeing the actors in traditional clothing, and the dancing and African buffet at the end were both excellent. I would recommend ANY tour offered by Mhlanganisi Travel and Tours. KG, the co-owner and our guide for the day, was fantastic: friendly, informative and flexible.
