A cultural holiday to Africa offers an eye-opening experience into the continent. Browse our accommodation options here for your safari digging deeper into Africa’s soul. Often celebrated as the “Mother Continent,” Africa is not only the birthplace of humanity but also a land of immense cultural and geographical diversity. With 54 countries and over 3,000 indigenous tribes, Africa offers an unparalleled richness of traditions, languages, and landscapes.
Tribal influences remain deeply woven into the fabric of African society. Traditional customs, beliefs, and ways of life are still practiced across the continent, reflecting a profound connection between people and their ancestral roots. Proverbial wisdom, like the Maasai saying, “Home is not far away when you are alive,” embodies this enduring relationship between community, culture, and the land.
While Africa’s iconic safaris often bring to mind images of the “Big Five” animals, cultural safaris offer a different kind of adventure — one that immerses travelers in the human stories that shape the continent. These experiences provide a chance to engage with local communities, understand their traditions, and witness the vibrant ways they preserve their heritage.
