Tanzania Cultural Tours
OVERVIEW
Tanzania is home to 120 tribes, interwoven and living in harmony. Tanzania’s way of life is much more varied than its wildlife at the same time, associated with its regular language Kiswahili/Swahili. Tanzania Cultural Tours offer you a chance to well explore the genuine orthodox way of life of the general population living in the country territory; yet still, add to the different formative activities or projects being directed in the different zones.
It is a pleasing experience to abandon the safari vehicle and climb the mountains of the agricultural clans of northern Tanzania to perceive how coffee is developed by subsistence ranchers or to stroll over the fields to explore the rich customs of the peaceful clans whose culture is firmly connected to nature and wildlife.
These Tanzania Tours And Safaris offer an assorted variety of offer activities, among which are visits to traditional; medication men, visiting the cheddar production lines, taking a camel safari, participate on mountain treks, visiting the neighbouring towns and getting familiar with their way of life, standards and practices.
Nowa ay’s Customs and Cuisine of Tanzania is largely playing the fusion in worldwide. So enjoyTanzania Culture in various Tanzania Destinations. You get a whole new perspective to the human experience with our Tanzania Cultural Tours.
There is more to Tanzania Cultural Tourism so come and experience with Materuni Tours!
Tanzanian Tribes
Tanzania is home to more than 120 tribes all with their own traditions. Take the chance of getting to know the local people better. When you visit them you will see that they are as interested in you as you are in them. They might ask you questions about where you come from and how you live. You will see that the that the meeting is equally interesting for both parties. All cultural activities we organize support the people you are visiting.
Maasai Tribe
This nomadic tribe stands out with its tall bodies and deep red clothing. They say the Maasai wear this color to scare away lions. They still maintain the same lifestyle as they did centuries ago. They travel with their cattle; cows, sheep, donkeys and goats. At places with enough water and grass they build their huts.
Although the last few years the Maasai are being encouraged to stay at one place by the government so their children are able to go school. The Maasai have many remarkable traditions and rituals. If you want to discover more about this tribe let us know while making your inquiry. We will plan an interactive visit for you.
Hadzabe Bushmen
Living in the bush, speaking a language made out of clicks, hunting twice a day.. you might think that these people lived thousands of years ago, but actually they live at Lake Eyasi.
From Karatu you drive about 2 hours on a very rough road to Lake Eyasi. Once you are there you can have a rest. The next morning you will get up early to help the Hadzabe with the preparation for their hunt. After the hunting you can try to shoot with the bow and arrow yourself. A local guide will help translating.
Datoga Tribe
This is the neighboring tribe of the Hadzabe and also known as the blacksmiths, because they will melt anything into arrows and jewellery. On a fire made out of charcoal they will show you how they for example melt a metal lock into a bracelet.
They trade the arrows they make with other tribes for food. The Datoga themselves blend in with their environment, their dress being the color of the reddish brown soil. Only on closer inspection will they appear colorful with their reddish, patched leather dresses, bead work, and brass bracelets and necklaces.

ExcellentBased on 246 reviewsVerifiedRuth T2024-07-27Once in a lifetime. This was an exciting and exhilarating hike. Grueling and rewarding. Our guides were great, and our porters and chef exceptional. I would definitely recommend trekking with Materuni.VerifiedL D2024-04-26Coffee tour, safari and Usambara Mountains - everything was great :) This is the third time that I have done safaris and the coffee tour with Materuni Tours. The coffee tour takes you through the village of Materuni, through a beautiful landscape to a huge waterfall. The hike is not demanding and is beautiful. You are also shown how coffee grows and how it is made, or you can make it yourself. We really liked that! After that we did a 4-day safari, which was simply fantastic. We had very nice accommodations and a cool car with lots of space. Since we are bird lovers, we also really liked the fact that our driver was extremely knowledgeable about the Tanzanian bird world and always showed us the animals in a book. After the safari we did a 3.5-day hike in the Usambara Mountains with Materuni Tours. It was amazing!! The nature is fantastic and we hiked through many villages and got a great insight into Tanzanian culture. Our guide Francis was very, very nice and funny. He made the best guacamole in the world and was very attentive. We saw lots of chameleons and had an incredible view of over 300 km. I can only recommend Materuni Tours, everything was very well organized and even when we wanted to make a few spontaneous changes, they were immediately taken into account and implemented. I also think it's good that it's a Tanzanian provider and that this boosts the economy in the country.VerifiedHarold G2024-02-207 day Machame Kilimanjaro & 2 day safari In February 2024 we climbed the Kilimanjaro using the Machame route in 7 days. The trek was organized by Materuni Tours, a local company. Ambrose, the owner of Materuni Tours knows his stuff and everything was very well organized. We had a great team of porters, the chef prepared delicious food and the guides were excellent. Also the stay at the Kilimanjaro Accommodation before and after the trek was very enjoyable with a great chef preparing meals on demand. The safari was a little bonus we had not planned before arriving in Moshi. It was again perfectly organized last minute by Ambrose. I truly recommend Materuni Tours, especially because it is locally owned.VerifiedEna Z2024-01-27Amazing way to experience Kilimanjaro !! Ambrose was very dialed, and his crew was absolutely amazing! Once we exited the airport, Dino was waiting for us. We arrived to the host, Ambrose's house, and everything was beyond my expectations. The food was amazing, and all the little details was incredible. The tour itself was made extra special because of Ambrose's crew. Led by Antony, and also guided by Davis, Matthew, and Josef: they ensured we were all safe and having a good time. The porters and cooks and waiters all also made the trip extra special!!! They sang for us, let me cook a little soup with them, and made sure that we adjusted to the altitude no problem. Our group could not have done it without the crew that Ambrose had for us. I am so happy I got to experience this, mainly because of all of them!!! Highly recommend !!!VerifiedRoland N2023-12-01Materuni safari Our guide Kaleby picked us up from the hotel in Arusha and we went to the beautiful park Tarangire. We saw many animals and the views were amazing. Kaleby had a answer to every question we had. We saw a leopard! We spent the night in Haven Nature Lodge. Great place, good food, great staff! Early in the morning we drove to Ngorogoro Crater. Undescribable place, we came close to lions with 4 cubs playing. Elephants, hyenas, sebras, wildbeasts, birds. Materuni tours did all they promised. Great guide, good car and good food.VerifiedJoe S2023-10-28Unforgettable experience! Unforgettable experience climbing Kilimanjaro and doing 5 day safari. The mountain team were 1st class and do everything for you on the mountain so all you need to do is walk, giving you the best chance of summiting. Safari was a really fun was of spending the 2nd week, we saw lots of amazing animals including the big 5, and also nice way to meet other travellers. Materuni Tours provide a very personalised experience, and will look to arrange anything you want at short notice. If you’re a solo traveller and looking to be part of a group, best check first when there are sign ups and for which routes, as there’s no guarantee there will be a group if you select your own dates. Also the accommodation is nice but a bit out of town and feels like a safe house, so if you’re wanting to try and link up with other travellers/climbers then worth arranging a hostel in Moshi. Otherwise a fantastic experience!VerifiedIrene S2023-10-19Trip that I never forget The trip was amazing. We had a great team, and the guides where super! They helped me to go up the mountain. Give me mental support. I don’t made it to the top because of my headache and nosiness. But I am proud that my husband made it to the summit together with Joseph. Materuni Tours thanks for the great experience 🩵VerifiedIrene S2023-10-19Great Safari Tour We made a more days tour. We were going to Arusha National Park, Tarangire Park, Serengeti and the Ngorongoro. We had a great guide Nuru who knew so many things and tell us about all the parks. We saw all of the Big 5 that was amazing. I can recommend this safari tour!!! Materuni thxVerifiedBente Goeman2023-10-17Living a day as a local! This tour will give you a really good perspective how the daily life of a real person in a Tanzanian village looks like. They will bring you the beautiful waterfall and after have a coffee workshop. Extra special was the personal touch of the guide who lived his whole childhood in Materuni village. He showed his house where he grew up and we visited the school where he went as a child.VerifiedBente Goeman2023-10-17EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME An experience of a lifetime! I'm so greatful Materuni Tours gave us this opportunity to have this amazing experience. The views were unbelievable and also the guides are part of the family. The organisation was really good and I would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves to be in nature.
