Cultural tourism is an important component of tourism today along side wildlife safaris. It involves exploring museums, cultural communities, sites, centres and festivals.
A tourist will have a chance to immerse themselves in the local traditions of the places visited giving them an authentic experience of the norms of a region or country.
The visits boost the intellectual and knowledge base. Local heritage will be preserved and revitalized for generations.
Each community has a different story and history to tell the visitor. The performing arts offer unique experiences for the guests who are encouraged to participate.
East Africa offers good cultural tourism destinations that can be integrated with wildlife safaris.
