NDEBELE CULTURAL VILLAGE : ZEBRA COUNTRY LODGE

Taking a new slant on cultural villages, the Ndebele Village at Zebra Country Lodge traces the development of the area’s Southern Ndebele culture starting in the late stone age and progressing to present day. 

The Ndebele culture’s distinctively colourful dress and the bright, happy geometric designs on the homes are easily recognisable. The highly colourful and intricately painted artwork was done by internationally renowned artist Esther Mahlangu who resides in the village with her family.

A visit will include a tour interpreting the heritage, life, arts, architecture, history and spirited festivals of the Ndebele people specifically the Ndzundza tribe.
