African People and Culture

Best of African Culture. African vacation Planner. Where to go in Africa
African culture is incredibly interesting because it is so diverse. Every African country is a mix of tribes each with their own unique language and culture. Countries as small as Uganda have more than 30 tribes. In Kenya you could be riding a camel in the desert with the Samburu one day, go on a walking safari with the Maasai a few days later and finish your week exploring old Islamic coastal towns with the Swahili on the shores of the Indian Ocean.

If you are interested in traditional African cultures there all kinds of cultural tours available. You can go hunting with San Bushmen in Botswana, herding with the Maasai of East Africa and camel riding in the Sahara with the Touareg of Mali.
