Incredible African Tribal Traditions That Will Blow Your Mind | World's Fearless Tribe
Africa is known for its rich culture, heritage, and love for customary traditions. Some African tribal traditions are quite mysterious and tend to fascinate people within and outside the continent. For many years, these tribal communities have lived without many modern comforts and their traditions may live on for decades to come. Here are some captivating traditions from several tribes in Africa.
There are an estimated 3,000 African tribes spread across the continent… but what is a tribe, and which are the most well known and iconic tribes in Africa?
When visiting Africa for a safari it can be easy to complete your trip without actually experiencing anything of the local cultures or customs outside your safari lodge. This is to miss out on a big part of what makes Africa such a unique continent, and special place to visit.
The African continent has 54 countries and around 1.3 billion people. Much of the African population belongs to one of the estimated 3,000 tribes, each with their own dialect and culture. In South Africa – the Rainbow Nation – Africa’s diversity is reflected in the constitution, with the recognition of 11 official languages!
With over 300 years of colonization in recent African history, the continent’s population and cultures have been marked by immense change. Colonial powers took little notice of tribes and tribal areas when they drew up the new national borders, resulting in current day countries that in many cases bear no resemblance to tribal lands. As a result, some tribes have died out, some have joined together, or been split, and some new African tribes even been formed due to the continent’s colonization.
What exactly is a tribe?
Though discussing the definition of a ‘tribe’ or ethnic group would keep social anthropologists busy for many days, the common understanding of the word, and concept of ‘tribe’ is a community of people who share the same culture and dialect, and are linked by social, economic, religious, or blood ties.
