Cultural Visits

Although we've rather grandiosely titled this section "Cultural Visits" what we really mean is getting out of the Parks and lodges and meeting some of the local people in their villages and towns. For many, a safari is all about seeing the wildlife and scenery, but to be honest that is a shame, as there is a wealth of beauty and marvel to be found in the local populations and the way they live their lives. We guarantee that if you have not visited a genuine African village in some of the more rural, poorer areas of Kenya or indeed elsewhere in Africa, you will be in for an eye-opening but hopefully also joyful time.

In particular, in Kenya, there is the opportunity to meet with the Maasai people, with their genuinely unique way of life. The Samburu people are also particularly worth making the acquaintance of.

Visits to villages or schools can be arranged at many of the lodges in Kenya - just ask your host while on safari if you are interested.
