Yesterday we caught the shuttle to Sun City (a luxury resort and casino that borders the Game Reserve where we’re staying).

We visited the Cultural Village and were the only two people in the audience so it was all rather intense.

We were taken on a mini tour of the 8 tribes of South Africa and given a short explanation of the origin of each, their clothing, their beliefs – and how many wives a man was allowed to have.

The Zulu.

Zulu warriors!

This skirt was quite heavy and was worn to hide whether a single woman had child bearing hips (or not). Her husband wouldn’t find out until after the wedding whether he had married a woman who would give him many children….

Then we watched a song and dance routine which was really entertaining……

especially the dance part…..

This dancer was very…umm…athletic.

The xylophone band played The Lion Sleeps Tonight and La Bamba. True story.

We finished off the trip with a cold beer in the casino.
