Tanzania has 130 different tribes representing all the African ethnic groups. So many visitors to Tanzania only come to see the wildlife, missing out on something even more touching – the local tribes and cultures.
We offer organized Tanzania Cultural Safaris that will immerse travelers in the real Tanzanian culture. The trip includes a visit to Chaga tribes, Masai tribes, and Hadzabes bushmen tribes.
Small groups of Hadzabe bushmen live around Lake Eyasi. Their language resembles the click languages of other bushmen further south in the Kalahari. Their small population was seriously threatened, in particular during the period when Julius Nyerere tried to introduce his Ujuma policy. The Tribe resisted the forcible settlement policies and nowadays most of their children have never seen a doctor or school – the bush provides for all their needs.
Tourists will see their simple bush homes where the tree canopy alone or a cave provides them shelter. They live entirely off the bush and from hunting, generally small antelopes and baboons. In rainy seasons, gazelles and antelopes come down from the Ngorongoro or Serengeti to their lush bush lands thereby offering them richer pickings.
Explore one of Africa’s most iconic safari destinations on game drives and guided walks across the Serengeti’s open savannah plains. Tick Tanzania’s many birds off your list, and spend the evenings gazing at the stars, as plentiful as the migratory herds (Wilderness Experiences Nature).
What sets us apart at Nature & Leisure in Africa is our expertise in organizing safe and unforgettable trekking adventures to Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak.
