Kenya
Cultural Tours
We partake to facilitate your
opportunity to explore and enjoy the diverse cultural and
traditional practices of different tribes of Kenya.
The major tribes in Kenya are Luo, Kalenjin, Kamba, Kikuyu and Luhya
which together account for 70% of the total population. In their
rural homes, these tribes exhibit distinct cultural code of
practices and traditions peculiar to each [pretty different from the
others]. We are flexible in these itineraries as the number of days
depends on which tribe, season, occasion and distance from the
starting point.
