Kenya has a culture born of countless sources. This region has been crossed by the paths of a long and complex history. From the prehistoric records of early man to the present day, Kenya has been a land of unending change, contrasts and diversity. The tribes of Kenya are as diverse as it's country and many people still practice a traditional lifestyle, even amidst the modernity of urban Kenya. It is not uncommon to hear five or six differnet native Kenyan languages as you walk down the streets of Nairobi. With many years experience working with the Samburu, The Laikipia Masai, The Pokot and The Turkana we have made many friends in these traditional communities. On our trips you will only meet real people living real lives. Often times, we travel to these communities in order to learn a skill or craft, like making beadwork, identifying medicinal plants, or tracking animals. Other times we are simply visitors and depending on the situation and the tribe, we may be allowed to take photographs. Mostly, we will travel with a lightweight mobile camp that is easy to pack and move and these safaris can be easily combined with game viewing and a trip to the coast.
