This tour has been on my wish list for months & the timing was just right that I was blessed with an awesome guide name Samantha. From the moment she met me the tour started. She pointed out different areas as we drove along . She was punctual and we stayed on schedule so I could experience all there was to see & do. Her knowledge is vast & I truly enjoyed it all . I truly enjoyed the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage site . The guide here was exceptional also. Samantha filled in where he left off & wish I had more time here. The staff @ Lesedi Cultural Village was very pleasant & not pushy at the gift shop. For anyone undecided about this tour it is well worth it. I learned a lot from Samatha on this tour & will highly recommend it.

Shane was prompt, knowledgeable and allowed us the freedom and time to experience the attractions at our own pace. He was happy to stop for a coffee for us, and when we accidentally left our phone in the car after the tour he happily returned it (thanks again Shane!). The Cradle of Human Kind was interesting, the Lesedi Cultural Village tour was very informative with the end dancing extremely energetic and entertaining with the dancers giving 110%. Excellent service and awesome tour. Highly recommended.

Great private tour w/ Shane who gives great info about SA. Cradle site went quickly but still a good place to visit at least once. Lesedi tribe was awesome and its definitely worth paying extra for that delicious traditional meal. Shane also took cool pics of me during the trip.

Shane was an excellent guide, was very planned and tailor made the trip considering our kids age.
Had a nice banter about cricket and learnt about South Africa culture in a short period of time.

The guide Shane was extremely helpful, a person who was clearly there for pleasure. It helped me not only during the tour, but also helped me choose better locations for my itinerary that I'm doing in South Africa, with better tours. And at the end he even gave me a local beer to try, as he had mentioned that I work selling beer in Brazil, that is, extremely attentive and concerned with details.

Shane is a very nice guide. I really enjoyed the tour.
The cradle of humankind is suitable for parents with kids. The Lesedi is a good place for people to understand the main tribes in SA.

Both of these tours were very educational. The exhibits @ The Cradle of Humankind gave great insight into man’s evolution. The Lesedi Village tour was truly wonderful & gave a good understanding of the difference between the tribes. The tour guide & the representatives of the tribes gave a good visual understanding of life within the tribes. The drumming & dance performances were also very good & so was the lunch provided. In total, a very good experience.
