Imagining the Kenya of old requires forgetting about cars; forget, for a moment about computers, about telephones, about Internet, and about all the modern conveniences that you experience on a daily basis. Instead, imagine a world where money is replaced by things of beauty, such as ebony, sandalwood and gold. The Private Ngomongo Cultural Center Tour lets you see all this. Nature was pristine in those long-forgotten times, unspoiled by the machinery of modernization. Thousands of years ago East Africa was a thriving land of culture and trade. Muslims and Africans moved to the African coast to settle there and make their living. The result was a fusion of Arab and African cultural; a curious mixture that provided a distinct culture that survived many centuries. The spice trade was central in opening up Kenya to cultural influences from beyond the sea. Ebony, gold, ivory, and sandalwood were traded amongst other things, making this hinterland and coastline the most profitable int he region.

Swahili culture bore out the centuries with magnificent art, music and interaction with their lush surroundings. Colonialism brought many Asian workers to Kenya, giving the Swahili culture a slight Indian feel, particularly in cuisine and music. Memory of this beautiful land lingers in customs of the Swahili. Experiencing a Private Ngomongo Cultural Center Tour you will be able to see this magnificent culture recaptured, looking back to a time when tribal culture prevailed.
