Basotho Cultural Village reviews
18Had an amazing time with the tour guide Tlhoni. It was a very informative, and the showcase of the food and music was beautiful. I would highly recommend this place
Black people need to visit this cultural place so as to learn more about the Sotho and black culture
A great open-air museum where the tribal life of the Basotho, the culture and also the architectural development from the 16th to the 20th century and the European influence become comprehensible. The tour, which lasts about 45 minutes, is almost an integral part, otherwise you won't understand much. The staff, who take on different roles such as chief, advisor, medicine man or musician, make the guide's stories come alive.
Recommendation!
I learnt a lot about the History of Basotho people. What amazes me is that in their culture it's men first. And during the tour they observed that. And in the olden days, they raise children as a community. I loved the tour. You pay R60 entrance
For the nature and traditional South African people who are into exploring and learning more about different cultures, this is an amazing place to go to to learn more about the Basotho people. A place willed with heritage, beautiful scenery, calmness and wonderful atmosphere
Lovely experience. Got a real feel for how life has changed for the Basotho people. Got to taste a variety of foods. Worthwhile. Don't believe the scale on the map from Golden Gate, it is much further than expected but well sign-posted.
Therapeutic, i felt proud that i am sotho surrounded with nature i felt said when it was time to leave the place because i had the time of my life
The venue is closed indefenditly for upgrades by government so that forever. That a pity for the views are breathtaking
Really nice place, I was here as a photographer and my client was so happy with the final results
Please if you are in the area visit the Basotho Cultural village. The are more suited to accommodate big school or tourist groups but we couls see enough of what it was about.
We had some of there traditional cuisine tripe and dumplings (which was a bit different for our Capetonian tastebuds) which I could enjoy.
Lovely friendly staff.
Really enjoyed our stay here. Very affordable. Great rooms. No complaints at all. Everything was functional. They rooms where well kitted and the views are honnestly stunning.
I am very disappointed, the place is closed and looks spooky. I don't understand why San parks does not take care of the Basotho Heritage. I don't believe that corona has affected the business here, why are the other provinces e.g Mpumalanga, Kwa - Zulu Natal and the others are still functional.
We were unable to take the tour around the village as it is not operational. Most of the products to purchase were iut of stock. But it is a nice place, pity we couldn't see much of it
We went there to make a booking it was on Sunday of easter weekend around 13: 00, there was no one on site, offices closed.
Much quieter than the main camp. The kitchen is hard work but the shower is wonderful. Warm bed and peaceful. I recommend this if you are going to stay in this area.
I'm not sure if this still functions. I went the on Nov 1 and found it closed, and it looked like its been like that for a long time.
It's about the culture, history and heritage of the Basotho nation before the arrival of Jan van Riebeck. The place is currently under renovation
