8.Cultural And Village Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 4 reviews · 2 hours · from $40

Visit Mukuni village near Livingstone for a short introduction to Leya customs, homesteads, crafts, and village life. Your English-speaking guide handles return transfers, and groups are limited to two people. Traditional food, dancing, schools, clinics, drinks, and snacks may depend on the day’s actual schedule.

“We had a really good and interesting tour for seeing the village. However, when I see the description. It looks like we missed something. We didn't visit any school or saw anybody making a meal. We were 1 hour in the village, the drive took 15 minutes each way, and we didn't get any drinks or snack. So if this is the average tour, and you want to see all the details as in the description, then you probably have to choose another tour. Any how, we had a nice tour, but I wouldn't mind to have seen a little bit more”
