While many go to Kenya for its abundant variety of wildlife, learning about the country's distinct cultures is worth a visit in and of itself.
The Bomas of Kenya is one such area to inspect culture. Encompassing the dress, lifestyle and cultural rituals of 16 of Kenya's tribal groups, the museum features daily performances and rituals that visitors can observe. From Kalenjen warrior dances to the beats of Embu drummers, Bomas offers guests one of the most concentrated cultural experience available in all of Kenya.
Travelers in Langata will find a number of relics from more recent cultural introductions to the country. Fans of the 1985 film "Out of Africa" will be delighted to know that they can walk amid the film's landscape on the grounds of Karen Blixen's old coffee farm. Located at the foot of the Ngong Hills, guests can embark on hikes through the area after touring the extensive museum, located in Blixen's classic home. The home is one of the country's best representations of the European settlements that flooded East Africa in the 19th and early 20th centuries, and showcases how European styles of the time period were accented by Kenyan culture and landscape influences.
