Many of our itineraries organically include cultural interactions with local groups, communities, and tribespeople. Between game drives and other safari activities, there are opportunities to meet some of Africa’s indigenous groups. You can experience first hand the culture of the Masai and Samburu in Kenya, the red-hued Himba of Namibia, the Hadzabe hunter-gatherers of northern Tanzania, and the desert-adapted San of the Kalahari. These frank encounters help many guests to appreciate the unaffectedness of these ancient cultures and offer humbling insights into the huge challenges faced by so many people living in remote and often impoverished parts of Africa.
Opportunities abound for families that wish to experience local cultures within the context of their African safari which doesn’t reduce Africa’s rich heritage to a contrived hotel show. The cultural interactions we initiate for our guests are honest, authentic, and mutually beneficial for the local communities.
