About this activity

Explore the Bush in a 4x4 game viewer to find the elephants roaming freely in their own environment. Once you find them, we will stop to take photographs of these gentle giants. We then proceed to Lesedi Cultural Village where we get to explore the Zulu, Basotho, Xhosa and Pedi Villages to see just how they live and their different cultural styles before heading off to the Boma to witness an amazing display of their music and dancing skills. After the show enjoy a traditional buffet lunch ranging from Crocodile, Ostrich, Lamb, Beef and Chicken and a variety of vegetables, with the Chief Himself.
