Tanzania Cultural Tours

Go beyond the safari and meet the people of Tanzania — herd cattle with the Maasai, hunt with the Hadzabe and watch the Datoga blacksmiths at Lake Eyasi, cook with the villages of Mto wa Mbu, and roast coffee with the Chagga on the slopes of Kilimanjaro.

5-Day Cultural Tour

Five days meeting the people of northern Tanzania: the multicultural village of Mto wa Mbu, a Maasai boma, the Hadzabe hunter-gatherers and Datoga blacksmiths of Lake Eyasi, and the coffee farms of Karatu. Cooking classes, traditional dances, a hunt with bow and arrow and a bean-to-cup coffee tour — an immersive, respectful journey beyond the safari.
