Culture
Kenya is blessed the abundant wildlife and magical scenic views; the people of Kenya add the final touch of your experience. What defines Kenya as a destination is its tremendous vibrant unique and authentic cultures. Kenya has over cultures, languages, dialects and is one of the richest diverse social tapestries on the planet. With three UNESCO sites that are basically related to culture, Kenya’s heritages stretches back longer than the most and the depth of its history.
At Koobi Fora, some of the earliest evidence of human habitation on earth has been found, while the streets of Lamu echo with the history of centuries of sea trade, and Mt Kenya is a biosphere reserve that combines respect for a traditional symbol of creation and the need to conserve our environment for the future. Common attractions are the tribal villages and respective communities’ style of life within the National Parks where tourists witness the co-existence of the tribes and wild animals while taking into account the sustainability of the environment. In Kenya, cultural tourism is practiced with an aim of understanding the origins of a people’s culture, their attachment to some practices, their norms and taboos as well as their outlook on the meaning of life. Cultural experiences provide tourists with an experience that they would otherwise not get elsewhere.
Cultural tourism in Kenya mostly targets the indigenous communities that are still holding on to their traditional way of life. To travel through Kenya is to experience a unique cultural mosaic as old as creation. Meet the Swahili sailors of the Coast; meet the Maasai, Samburu and Turkana, who are known to be rich in traditional songs and dances, not forgetting that, they form the population of cattle herders and pastoralists. Their food culture is also another aspect that seems to promote cultural tourism in Kenya, bearing in mind that their most favorite drink is milk mixed with fresh animal blood and they live in thorn-enclosed villages. You can also visit or fish with the Luo, master fisherman of Lake Victoria in the West. Anywhere you travel in Kenya, you will find new and fascinating cultures, and cultural events.
