August Festivals in Africa

Monday July 6, 2009
samburu kenya August Festivals and Events in Africa include a wine festival in South Africa; a harvest festival in Ghana; a marriage festival in Morocco; a fashion show in Cape Town and a Camel Derby in Kenya. You may not be aware that Kenya has camels, but this particular derby seeks to raise awareness about the Kenyan camel and people like the Samburu (pictured here) who rely on this lovely, useful beast for their survival.

Find out more about each of these festivities from my article about August Festivals and Events in Africa.
