Rwanda Cultural Excursions: The indigenous Rwandese people have family roots from three distinct ethnic groups, each with its own unique culture, rituals, and others, but generally living harmoniously with each other. Our Rwanda cultural tours bring you closest to the indigenous people; learn about the homestead set up, the roles of each member in a family and community. Cultural ceremonies played a very big role in passing on vital hidden information to community members that each individual interpreted and reacted as the community expected of them. The way of dressing, body posture, and mood was a language that could be interpreted and understood by all group members. However, with increased population on the land through migrations, emigrations, intermarriages, and mingling with other people, introduction of western education, the traditional Rwandan lifestyle has changed; the people are living a mixed and socially improved lifestyle.
The traditional setup, which is not written down, is getting diluted and on the verge of phasing out due to the passing on of elders with this vital information. Our safaris to Rwanda are customized to grant you an exceptional opportunity to interact with many community model groups that are set up to conserve the important values that are important for Rwandan identity. On Rwanda safari you by coincidence learn about the ways of survival of Rwanda people, community tools of use, hands on experiences on weaving lessons, preparations of sumptuous African dishes preparations, herbal medicine preparation and dosage, music, dance, storytelling experiences, cultural ceremonies like birth of twins, wedding and initiation of boys to adulthood dressing and many others which you can compare with your own at home and appreciate how Africans harnessed nature. Below are some safaris where you get to visit cultural sites.
