samburu kenyaAugust Festivals and Events in Africa include Ramadan with its many accompanying feasts, celebrated by Muslims throughout Africa along with their neighbors in many cases. There's also a wine festival in South Africa; a harvest festival in Ghana; a marriage festival in Morocco; 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 useful beast for their survival.
