Eco-tourism & Cultural Tours
Lake Natron and Lake Eyasi – are two alkaline lakes in northern Tanzania that offer unique experiences for visitors interested in eco-tourism and cultural tours. Lake Natron is known for its pink flamingos, which breed in the shallow waters of the lake, and for its striking landscapes of volcanic ash and rock formations.
Visitors can take guided walks around the lake and explore the surrounding area, including waterfalls and hot springs. Nearby, Lake Eyasi is home to the Hadzabe and Datoga tribes, who have lived in the area for thousands of years. Visitors can learn about their traditional way of life, including hunting with bow and arrows, gathering roots and fruits, and making fire without matches.
Maasai Cultural Tours – provide opportunities for visitors to learn about the traditional way of life of the Maasai people. The Maasai are a semi-nomadic pastoralist tribe that lives in Tanzania and Kenya. Visitors can experience their culture firsthand by visiting a Maasai village, participating in traditional dances, and learning about their customs and beliefs. These tours are a great way to support local communities and learn about sustainable ways of living.
Historical Sites Tours – offer a glimpse into Tanzania’s rich history and cultural heritage. Bagamoyo, for example, is a former slave trade center that played an important role in East Africa’s history. Visitors can visit historical sites such as the Old Fort, the Kaole Ruins, and the Bagamoyo Arts and Crafts Centre, and learn about the town’s connections to the slave trade and its role in the anti-colonial struggle.
Tanzania has a beautiful coastline with popular destinations including Zanzibar, Mafia Island, and Pangani.
