Culture
"Safari" suggests wildlife. "Tanzania" suggests huge mammal populations. But East Africa in general and Tanzania in particular are thought to be the birth-place of humans. Famous anthropological and archaeological discoveries by the Leakeys were made in the Oldupai Gorge, within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Care to take a break from your photo safari to visit the gorge, or even sites of ancient rock paintings west of Tarangire? Just let us know.
The modern culture of Tanzania has a wealth to offer as well! There are more than 120 tribes in the country, all joined together in harmony through a national language and national interests. In your travels you will encounter many Maasai and learn a little about their ways. And opportunities abound to take a bit of Tanzanian culture home with you. Beautiful Maasai beadwork (in which we have expertise), fine ebony carvings, the gem Tanzanite - any can become your heirlooms.
