Day 1: Vusi Mahlasela cultural experience.
Taking you with on one of our UMOYA Music safaris & Cultural tours

This past week I had the privilege to take 4 guests from America on a 7 day Music safari and Cultural tour.

Day1 started with a very special visit to South African icon Vusi Mahlasela's house for a bespoke intimate performance at his house. Vusi is always so welcominging, humble and gracious and it is such an honor to work with him. Bra Vusi is a shining light of the South African spirit. I learn everytime I am around him.

Grateful to be able to share my love of South Africa's amazing music, culture, nature and wildlife with guests.

We had such a beautiful and enriching time together.

Follow to see what we got up to on this trip.
