African Cultural Tours and Trips
Cultural Travel refers to tours and excursions that focus more on human activities rather than nature. The traveler is given the understanding of the way of life of the local people and their unique traditions.
Africa is a land of great cultural diversity and historical interest. There are many places where the history of mankind and different stages of mankind’s development stages can be seen.
Places like Egypt offer a great sense of timelessness and permanence which cuts across every aspect of human life. Today, most travelers to Egypt visit the Pyramids, and the Sphinx, the great monuments of the Nile Valley, the churches and the monasteries of the early Christians and the legacy of the early Romans and Greeks.

Ethiopia – the only country on the African continent that was never subject to colonization by any foreign powers stands as a proud cultural pillar. Ethiopia is also unique for its rich Orthodox Christian heritage that withstood the influence of Islam when all its neigbours were taking up Islam in the 7th century. While visiting Ethiopia, you will wander through rock-hewn churches, the awe-inspiring landscape of the Rift Valley and meet people who will make you feel welcome.

Throughout the African continent, there are cultural sites that have facilities for organized tours so that those who may be interested can have first-hand experiences of the cultural diversity of the surrounding areas. This often helps in the preservation of the culture as well as supporting the welfare of the local people.
In addition, local arts and crafts represent a rapidly expanding area of the cultural tourism industry that create small businesses and jobs for many Africans as well as increases export market potential of many African nations.
