the swahili culture was a blending of:

Southwest Asia and East Africa

Explanation:

The Swahili culture is a branch of the Bantu culture, thus it is based on the Bantu culture from the Niger-Congo basins. This culture has started to take up its modern shape from around the ninth century AD, and it has developed around the Great Lakes in Eastern Africa and along the Swahili coast of East Africa. The Swahili culture can be found in what is now considered as Eastern Africa, mainly on the territories of Tanzania, Mozambique, Kenya, and Uganda. This culture though is not strictly based on its ancestral Bantu culture, but it has been heavily influenced by the Southwestern culture, mainly the Arab one. This mixture came to be because of the spread of Islam by the Arabs, and lot of people in this part of Africa accepted it as their religion, so it influenced their culture greatly. The Swahili culture exists in the present, and the tribes that still live in the old fashioned way are big tourist attractions.
