Local Village Connection while on Safari

For too long, the only interaction many travelers had with locals came in the form of awkward photo ops with “tribesmen” costumed in traditional garb. But safari operators such as Kenya’s African Sermon Safaris are making local interactions more meaningful.

They offer visits to nearby villages that are less about gawking and more about hanging out. The tourists engage in various local dances and sample Kenya or Tanzania authentic food. They start to explore the similarities and not the differences between cultures.
