Living Africa

 
 

Description

In the heart of Lulekani, the tribal home of the Shangaan people, lies Basambilu Lodge and Tours, the home of Living Africa, situated just outside Phalaborwa in the Limpopo Province.

Living Africa is the place for a unique and unforgettable African experience. We have everything to offer, from meeting local people to learning about the Shangaan culture, one of the oldest traditional tribes of South Africa. Listen to their authentic stories, meet the colourful people, and experience Africa's physical beauty in the Kruger National Park and Blyde River Canyon. If music and movement is your passion, you can dance to the African beat during one of our weekly live music evenings. If laid-back relaxing is more your thing, then check out the scene at our sparkling pool or in the shady garden. Experience a truly different holiday. Living Africa will keep your dreams alive with a spectacular variety of activities.

Our traditional-style rondavels provide uniquely African accommodation. We offer comfort and simplicity for the budget conscious and more options for those wanting a little more privacy.

With short and long term guests from the four corners of the earth rubbing elbows with local villagers, Basambilu Lodge and Tours is a fascinating place to engage in a lively conversation with a fellow traveller or village elder. There is no such thing as 'one size fits all' at Living Africa. Let the Living Africa team create a holiday that suits you and put together a blend of activities and accommodation that fits your passions and your pocket.

Character: Living Africa is the holiday destination for a unique and unforgettable African experience. We will show you the real Africa in the tribal home of the Shangaan people, one of the oldest traditional tribes of South Africa.

Fun: Living Africa has a lively cultural entertainment program. Every Thursday evening and late Sunday afternoon our live band plays smooth African sounds and swinging jazz music.

Food & Gastronomy: Our 'Made with African Love' Restaurant will give you a taste of our local dishes and western favourites. Our products are fresh from the local markets and brought to the heart of Living Africa, the kitchen.

Historical & Cultural: See the world from a new perspective, meet the local people, enter their houses, sample their cuisine, have an audience with a Sangoma ritual healer and watch our famous flying dancers.
