I idea of this property is amazing. The staff is absolutely amazing however I did not receive a cultural experience. The experience was white washed and pitiful exploitation of the tribes represented. It was not until the dance did I feel connected to my ancestors. It was beautiful it spoke to me for me. The food was good but the same options were given for lunch and dinner, there are no near by options unless you have a vehicle.

Dinner Flop
Everything else was fine apart from the dinner buffet. It was a HUGE disappointment. Firstly the selection was very limited with only beef and lamb stew. Secondly, the food was cold cold cold, the beef was stone cold, i couldn't eat it. When we told the waitress about it she just mumbled and shrugged it off and vanished. Same as for dessert, the custard was also cold. We were told dinner is served till 20:00 and we went to the restaurant at 18:45, so surely it couldn't've have been because were late. They just served cold food that day.

The staff adds another level of excellent customer service to the already wonderful experience. If you are in Johannesburg, it’s really hard to get anything close to the cultural experience… this place does it. I loved my stay there, loved everyone who worked there, and will definitely make staying here a regular part of my trip anytime I come to Joburg. From learning some words in Zulu to the African drumming lesson to the African dancing show… I can’t rave about it enough. Thank you for making my visit to South Africa extra special.

Good but disorganised
Accommodation good. However, staff at times were disorganised. Room was cleaned late in the evening. Communication could also be improved.

What can one say except “exceptional”...... everyone treated us like we were family. Warm smiles & of course big hugs. The food was plentiful, the background knowledge of each tribes history was Wow. The dance boma is something not to miss. The energy and talent is out of this world

Unfortunate:( aha Lesedi is a novelty hotel with nice traditional rooms and interesting environment. The accommodation is in "villages" and I stayed in Zulu Room Nr 1. 2 double beds, thatched roof and nice bathroom. The problem was noise at night which lasted until 1.30am! The thatched roof does nothing for noise insulation. The bungalow was only several metres from a staff "village" which is interesting viewing in day light however no fun while they shout and party late into the night! Additionally staff walked around the outside of the bungalow and tapped into the bungalows hot water supply late into the night! of course i didnt mind them taking water but it was clearly audible that someone was lurking outside of our room and this happened until they went to sleep when noise stopped! Restaurant and bar are nice however chef begrudgingly made me an omelette after he complained there were no more chopped ingredients. I asked he go cut some more which he eventually did!:( Could have been a much more pleasant stay. Unfortunate!

Lesedi shows different cultures of South Africa, and provides an insight into the traditional culture of African people. The accommodation is situated directly in the Cultural Village and very comfortable.
