Tribes and Culture

In Africa, safari does not simply mean viewing wild animals; the word “safari” literally means “voyage.” You should make a trip among the many African tribes; the proud Maasai, the sturdy Chagga people, or the wandering Bushmen, the Hadzabe. Village leaders of the tribe chiefs will show you Africa from a different angle.

Spending the night with a local Hadzabe family in the bush is surely an ultimate experience; one you will remember for the rest of your life and will make fine material for stories to tell friends and family back home! If you are interested in the other side of Africa, please let Karibu Africa Safaris know and they will send you a tailor-made travel proposal.
