Cultural Tourism in Tanzania 

There is a saying that if you visit Tanzania without taking a photo with a Maasai, you are not done. As we were born and raised in Africa, we dispute this statement.

Tanzania is home to more than 126 ethnic groups. Each has a unique lifestyle and experience to learn and share.

For years, the media and agencies have portrayed the Maasai as the only available group.  The truth is that more than a hundred groups are here.

Despite that, peace and tranquility remain the symbol of the Nation and its people. Swahili is the unified language, though each group speaks its own mother tongue.

We are the product of the culture; these tours are designed for cultural exchange. 

The geography of Tanzania exposes travelers to diverse cultures and religions.  Something can be normal in one group but taboo in others.

As we promote peace through travel. We encourage visitors to Tanzania to show respect to native cultures.

Around the turn of the century (until the ’30s and ’40s), mobile tenting was the only option, and “camp as you go” was the standard practice. Over the years the luxury connected with the traditional mobile tenting safari has increased. By the same token, one can understand that the cost of having a “luxury hotel” following one around in Africa is expensive. However, most people settle for permanent tented camps. Because they are “permanent” they can be equipped with flush toilets and traditional bathroom fixtures and conveniences. Don’t be misled by terminology – a permanent tented camp offers the comfort of a 5-star hotel but with the romance and adventure of being surrounded by the sights and sounds of Africa.
