The Valley of Tamberma, northeast of Kande consists of a remarkable collection of fortified villages dating from the 17th century. Originally built by people fleeing the slave traders. The houses are made of clay, straw and wood with only a small entrance door. Because of the isolated location, much of the old culture and traditions have been preserved.
