Meet the people
behind Tanzania.
Tanzania has more than 120 tribes, all sharing one language: Swahili. Add moments of culture, adventure and quiet wonder to any journey.
Maasai village visit
The Maasai live across the northern plains and the Ngorongoro highlands. Visit a boma to learn about their cattle-centred life, their homes built by the women, their dances and their traditions. Your entrance fee goes straight to the community.
Hadzabe & Datoga at Lake Eyasi
Join one of Africa's last hunter-gatherer communities on a dawn hunt, learn to make fire from sticks, then visit Datoga blacksmiths who forge arrowheads and jewellery by hand.
Serengeti balloon safari
Lift off at dawn and drift silently over the plains as the sun rises, herds and predators below you. Land for a champagne bush breakfast in the middle of the wilderness.
Walking safari in the Rift Valley
Trek down the Rift Valley escarpment, then base yourself at Lake Natron to see flamingos, ancient human footprints and the plunge pools of the Ngare Sero gorge.
Mto wa Mbu cultural walk
A lively village at the gate of Lake Manyara, home to people from over 120 tribes. Walk through banana farms and papyrus lakes, taste local banana beer and share a home-cooked lunch.
Bush dinners & sundowners
A table set beneath an acacia, lanterns glowing as the sun drops over the plains. Perfect for honeymoons, anniversaries and once-in-a-lifetime celebrations.
Over 1,100
bird species.
Tanzania is one of Africa's great birding countries. November to April brings migrant species and the most colourful breeding plumage.
