Cultural Tours in Africa
In Africa, age-old indigenous cultures thrive alongside bustling modern cities and vivid reminders of bygone colonial days. Culture tours in Africa provide immersive insights into the history, heritage, customs and culinary traditions of the various peoples who inhabit the Mother Continent.
Cultural Trips to Africa for UK Travellers
The cultural heart of Marrakech in Morocco is the ancient medina, where the 12th century minaret of the Koutoubia Mosque thrusts 70 metres into the sky and the air is thick with exotic smells of spices and leather sold at the bustling souks. In Namibia, colonial history is preserved in the German architectural styles of laid-back coastal resort towns such as Swakopmund. Prominent in South African towns such as Cape Town and Stellenbosch are the whitewashed walls and thatched roofs characteristic of Cape Dutch architecture.
Guided tours in many African countries offer opportunities to interact with indigenous communities and witness at first-hand the crafts, hunting techniques and traditional dances they have practised for centuries. In Kenya you can take lessons in cooking and spear throwing from the semi-nomadic Maasai people. Living museums in Namibia give you the chance to meet peoples like the Himba, known for their distinctive red ochre body painting. Walking tours in Morocco often include stops at traditional Berber villages, where you can take tea with local families and get to know their way of life.
Guided African Culture Tours
Perhaps the most spectacular visual legacy of Africa’s ancient cultures is the Bushman rock art found, for instance, in the Kondoa region of Tanzania, the Drakensberg range in South Africa and Brandberg Mountain in Namibia, with detailed paintings and engravings dating back thousands of years. Art of a more recent kind, meanwhile, can be found in the bold and colourful street murals of districts like Woodstock in Cape Town.
We have a wonderful range of packages for culture enthusiasts. Our cultural holidays in Italy are particularly popular, taking you to charismatic old cities overflowing with great art, architecture and music.
