With over 120 tribes, Tanzania
is one of the most culturally diverse countries in all
of Africa. From the tall graceful Maasai warriors, to
the ancient ways of the Hadza bushmen, to the resourceful
agricultural practices of the Wameru, visitors to Tanzania
will be impressed by the fascinating array of tribal cultures.
You are welcome to see and contrubute in whatever means
to the lives of the local people and preserve the cultures.
Cultural tourism in Tanzania is
conducted through a program to help rural communities
enjoy the benefit of tourism sector in which they are
a part of. The program is the effort and initiatives of
the Dutch Development organization know as SNV which has
been directly involved in Tanzania's community development
programs, especially in the rural areas. The main goal
is that rural communities should directly benefit from
tourists who visit their areas.
Cultural tourism allows local people such as Maasai, Pare,
Sambaa, Wa-arusha, Gogo, Nyakyusa and Wazaramo to offer
tours that show their culture, their sacred places of
worship, economic activities, for example, farming, pastoralism
and fishing. The income generated is used by local people
for specific development programmes, such as, the building
of dispensaries, schools and cattle dip sites. In
regards to Tanzania Cultural tourism we urge you to visit
one of the outlined projects:
