Description

On this music safari we will be staying at two exceptional lodges. Our first night will be spent at the Lesedi Cultural Village which is located in the heart of the African bushveld amidst the rocky hills within the Cradle of Humankind – a World Heritage Site.

We will discover the fascinating cultures and traditions of the people of Africa, visiting five traditional homesteads inhabited by Zulu, Xhosa, Pedi, Basotho and Ndebele tribes who live according to tribal folklore and traditions of their ancestors. We will enjoy cultural dancing shows, delicious African cuisine and presentations on the tribes of South-Africa, their history, customs and traditions. We will also visit the Chameleon village – a curios shopper’s paradise, where you will be able to do curios shopping and purchase gifts for friends and family.

After breakfast on day two we will be departing for the Thakadu River Camp, which is a luxury game lodge set within the canopy of the riverine forest on the banks of the Marico River, in the Eastern portion of the beautiful Madikwe Game Reserve. Amongst many other wildlife species, this Malaria free reserve is home to the Wild Dog, Cheetah, and the Big 5. Madikwe is the perfect safari destination for your South-African Music Safari.

During this Madikwe Music Safari we will enjoy daily game drives in open air Safari vehicles, and spend the rest of the day getting instruction in Songwriting and Guitar playing from seasoned teacher, and professional performer Tim Stafford – an accomplished Singer, Songwriter, Producer, Guitarist, and respected member of the Bluegrass music community as founding member of the wildly popular Bluegrass band – Blue Highway.
