There are many cultural and historic attractions in Tanzania that will impress even the most critical of people.
But there are many ways to interact with the locals, learn and appreciate their ways of life and at the same time by your very visit make a small contribution to their living standard. Cultural Tourism Programmes, set up and run by the villagers themselves can be found in many parts of the country.
The village remains functional as it is while village appointed guides show you around their small subsistence farms, cottage industries many of which are run by women, schools, clinics and other projects. Be delighted in hearing the myths and legends unique to each tribe. Some villages have their own medicine men who have learnt the passed down art of using herbs and plants for natural healing.
One of the oldest tribes and with the most traditional unique ways of life for over 10,000 years the Hadzabe live in the dry cracked terrain near Lake Eyasi, south of the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania. They have inhabited the acacia forests and scrubland around Lake Eyasi near the mountains for thousands of years.
The Hadzabe set up camp temporarily and have small families. They build homes by weaving small huts out of the euphorbia bush, most of their huts are constructed in dried dung, sticks, and twigs. They eat roots, meat and they use traditional medicine to cure illnesses.
The Maasai migrated to Tanzania over 300 years ago and are famous for their way of life. Maasai families live in small traditional Bomas scattered over a given area. In the early morning, women leave the Boma to fetch water and collect firewood.
