KENYA CULTURAL SAFARI
Kenya has over 40 cultures, countless languages and one
of the most richly diverse social tapestries on earth
Despite the numerous cultures we remain a peaceful
nation with a strong sense of compassion for the world
tour beautiful country.
Meet the Swahili sailors of the coast, visit the pastrolist in their thorn-enclosed
villages of the maasai in the south, walk in the beautiful farms where the majority
of Kenyans spend most of their time or fish with the Luo master fisherman of Lake
Victoria.
Watch out on your cultural safari for the diversified cultures as diverse as
Kenya itself.

WINDS OF CHANGE
The Swahili culture was derived from the
Arabic Sahel for Coast. The Swahili culture
thrives along the coast. Mombasa being an
old town, you will be transported into the
pages of the Arabian Nights. To the
north there is Lamu, a town, which has remained,
unchanged by the outside world. The residents move at a laid back pace. There
are no cars and the main means of transport are the donkeys.
