Learn about Tanzania – its people and places – from those who manage and depend on its precious natural resources. Search for breakfast with Hadzabe hunter-gatherers or join the Maasai to milk there heard of cattle before sundown. These long term relationships with communities allow for a structured but un-staged encounter. The areas have a wilderness character so that visitors (and we ourselves) have the privilege of learning about wildlife, nature, and the land through a synergy of traditional and scientific knowledge.
Since its beginning, Toto Africa Adventures has based its travel concept on the philosophy that our natural environments (and wilderness and wildlife) are intimately and irrevocably linked to people – both locally and globally. Based on a sound natural sciences background and a thorough knowledge of the peoples of East Africa, Toto Africa Adventures has designed cultural travel for individuals and groups that provide stimulating educational experiences. These special adventures engage participants in issues of ecology, culture and development.
Besides enriching itineraries and adding quality to the tours offered in Tanzania, the cultural tours are generating direct income to the local communities that are being visited, contributing to their development. Thus by visiting the cultural sites the guests would be giving support to community health, water supply, primary education and many other social and economic projects carried out at village level as well as reforestation and protection of environment.
Some of the popular cultural centres which may be tailored into visitor itineraries include:
The Maasai tribe are a people who fought other tribes in Tanzania so as to capture more and more land for their animals, and do believe that all cattle belong to them and thus as such shall raid those with cows just to take “their” cows. The Maasai stand out of all the tribes in Tanzania because of their pride, assertiveness, intelligence and their friendly nature. The Maasai people are the most visited and of course most famous tribe in Tanzania and Africa as a whole. The Maasai live in the vicinity of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and a Tanzania cultural safari to see the Maasai community has travelers seeing their homesteads commonly known as the Bomas or manyattas and learn so much from the elders of the tribe. You shall get to experience or watch the famous Maasai dance of literally jumping up high, dancing and drumming.
The Hadzabe are a people, like the Koisans of South Africa, who speak a language with clicks. The Hadzabe are Bushmen who still live as the old age, as hunters and gatherers, living along the caves of Lake Eyasi. The Hadzabe tribe consists of about 1000 persons only. A Tanzania cultural safari to visit the Hadzabe tribe shall see you acquainting yourself with the unique way of living of the locals, their cultures and norms. You shall get an opportunity to see and learn how to collect honey, fruits and tubers directly from the wild. You shall also learn how to make bows and poisoned arrows, or even make use of them, climaxing your time with the Hadzabe people with a traditional dance and folklore, as well as an opportunity to smoke meat, make fire using sticks, build huts and so much more. If you are lucky to visit when there is a marriage ceremony taking place, you shall get an opportunity to take part in it, and appreciate their marriage ceremony.
The Datoga tribe are one of the truly primitive tribes of Tanzania which you can visit on a Tanzania cultural safari for an authentic wild and cultural experience. The Datoga are a primitive and aggressive a people who live near the Maasai people in the northern part of Tanzania. Among the fascinating features and way of life of the Datoga tribe is their dress code of wearing bracelets and collars made of brass and beads, as well as their tattoos usually surrounding their eyes. The Datoga though aggressive re very welcoming to tourists and they are open to sharing with them their way of life and cultural beliefs. When you do visit the Datoga tribe on a Tanzania cultural safari, you shall get an opportunity to take part in activities like making weapons, milk cows, build huts, prepare cattle fences, make traditional beer and also taste it if you may, make food and eat with them if still you are up to it, as well as get to know the various herbs that they usually use to treat their common ailments.
