Understanding and appreciating the Kenyan tribes and their cultural heritage

On Sunday, we made a foray to better understand Kenya from a cultural standpoint. We experienced the living styles of the different tribes in Kenya along with their customary accommodations. 

Well there were many a fantastic performance, but I'm sharing one of those on the custom made drums -

We also met a group of school children on a day trip and had a great time interacting with them. We also learnt a little more Swahili during this interaction :-)






























 

And finally we were treated by a melange of cultural performances representing the different parts/backgrounds of Kenya. 
















































 

I personally marveled at the vagaries of the Kenyan tribe heritage and how closely they protect their deep-rooted traditions!
