Your Expert Adventure Guide
Nichole Smaglick is a pioneer of East African cultural travel. As the President and Co-founder of Another Land, she has ventured into areas of East Africa that few foreigners have ever seen and guided travelers to these places since 1994. Some of her adventures include being initiated into tribal clans, eating insects, drinking blood, refusing numerous marriage proposals (including cow dowries) and fending off home-raiding Vervet Monkeys. She speaks Kiswahili and is one of the world's few musicians of Uganda's traditional 'amadinda' xylophone. Her East African credentials include a bachelor's degree in African Studies and music, a master's degree in cultural tourism, and research and teaching in Uganda and Tanzania. She has also serve as a consultant to the World Bank on cultural tourism in Africa. She has led several film and photographic expeditions throughout the remote corners of Africa for several organizations, including National Geographic. She is accepted as family among many groups in East Africa, including the Chagga, and makes this rare cultural opportunity possible.
