A safari in Kenya is incomplete without engaging with the people who call this magnificent land home.

Many reputable camps and lodges partner with local tribes, most famously the Maasai or Samburu. Guests are welcomed into genuine villages (enkangs) to learn about their traditions, including fire-making, herding practices, traditional dances, and the meaning behind their distinctive brightly colored shukas (robes) and intricate beaded jewelry. This offers invaluable insight into the symbiotic relationship between the communities and the wildlife.
