Description:

Experience 2 sides of South Africa's heritage and gain insight to the country's incredible diversity—it's known as the Rainbow Nation for a region. Delve into the history and legacy of Pretoria, the administrative capital, and visit the Lesedi Cultural Village, the ethnic heart of South Africa.

The first half of your tour takes you to Pretoria, a charming and laidback city that nevertheless carries an abundance of history rooted in the Afrikaner's settlement in the Transvaal. Visit the majestic Voortrekker Monument, dedicated to the Afrikaner emigrants, or Voortrekkers, and see the Paul Kruger House museum, the last house that President Kruger lived in. These landmarks establish South Africa's early modern roots, forming one part of the diverse national picture.

Drive around Church Square, passing significant buildings that include the Palace of Justice and the Old Capitol Theatre. Continue to the Union Buildings, the seat of the presidency, before heading out of town into the pristine African Bushveld with its grassy plains and pockets of dense trees and shrubs. Next, climb through the rocky hills to reach the Lesedi Cultural Village.

At Lesedi Cultural Village you encounter 4 traditional homesteads, each inhabited by Zulu, Xhosa, Pedi, and Basotho tribes. Get involved with tribal singing and dancing, have the chance to try their delicious cuisine, and meet the Chief in his Royal Kraal.
