What an amazing experience, can definitely recommend it! The cultural experience was very interesting, informative and entertaining! We also had the buffet dinner and it was the best buffet we have ever had. The food was really delicious, especially the meats (lamb and kudu)

Shows are amazing. The food was great. When we heard it's a buffet, we didn't ecpect much but was pleasantly surprised with the kudu especially that fell off the bone. The deluxe room was spacious.

Fabulous experience. Touristic yes, but very pleasant and I wish we had time to stay for lunch. Had quick sandwiches in restaurant and it was fabulous.

Very thrilling and authentic experience. The music and the dances were mesmerising, and the food -delicious. I was very happy to spend a night in a lovely hut under the exotic stars, and the soothing song of the rain and the cicads.

I had booked an afternoon tour of the Village with anticipation of witnessing the cultural performances, visiting the many tribal villages and learning about them and then sampling the tribal cuisines. When I arrived I was told (without any prior warning) that the villages, performances and food where not available because there were so few attendees yet their websites suggest they offer these twice a day and list the times they are available. Cancelling these activities is a very unprofessional approach to providing a tourist experience.
