Cultural tours

The historic location of the country and the conflict of different civilizations spanning centuries makes Kenya a synergy of rich cultures . From the Arab and Portuguese squabble to the white man and African indigenous debacle, Kenya has grown in leaps and bounds. The famed Maasai Culture , one of the few existing African cultures, has been changing the lives and perspectives of many tourists for ages. Staid mementos about the unique livelihood of the Maasai for the past 100 years are displayed in their day to day life.


The Bombolulu Workshops and Cultural Village in Mombasa are an establishment that showcases all Kenyan cultures through high-quality leatherwork, jewelry plus traditional dance repertoires. From the traditional Maasai regalia to the beaded necklaces and ornamented gourds, the Kamba handicrafts and sculptures, to the paintings of indigenous scenes and wildlife, the commodities are grandiose. Such is also the ecotourism project in the Ngomongo Villages in Mombasa . The preserve is home to the traditions of 11 different Kenyan cultures. It unravels how cultures evolve and blend with modernization across the country. In addition, you should consider paying homage to the mysterious Kaya (villages) that host shrines where offerings are made by the indigenous Mijikenda people. The western part of Kenya hosts the revered source of the Great Nile, Lake Victoria , the largest lake in Africa and the second largest fresh water lake in the world. It is of unsurpassed cultural and historical significance. The culture and traditions of the people living around the lake tell tales dating hundreds of years back. The major attractions include the famous Rusinga Island as well as the tiny islands of Mhola and Mbasa.
