The Maasai are perhaps one of the most renowned ethnic groups in Africa, known for their distinctive customs, dress, and residence near many game parks.

Nestled on the fertile slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro are the Chagga people, known for their agricultural expertise and unique irrigation methods. Our tours to Chagga villages include visits to the historical homes built on the mountainside, coffee farms, and local markets. A highlight is the opportunity to participate in brewing a traditional banana beer, a staple in Chagga celebrations.
3. Hadzabe and Datoga: Echoes of Ancient Traditions
Venture into the life of the Hadzabe tribe by Lake Eyasi, one of the last hunter-gatherer communities in Africa. With Safari Multiways, you can go on hunting excursions using traditional bows and arrows, gather wild fruits, or learn the clicking language of the Hadzabe. Nearby, interact with the Datoga tribe, skilled blacksmiths who can teach you the art of metalworking.

Explore the agricultural methods and family values of the Iraqw people in the Karatu and Mbulu highlands.

Stories from the elders about ancient customs and how they’ve preserved their culture against modern influences are particularly enlightening.
