Unveil the Past with Every Step
Tanzania is not only home to some of the world’s most famous wildlife and breathtaking landscapes but also to a mosaic of historical sites that tell tales as old as time itself. From the ancient footprints at Laetoli to the enigmatic ruins of Kilwa Kisiwani, every site is a doorway to the past. At Safari Multiways, we specialize in curating tours that not only bring you face-to-face with nature’s marvels but also immerse you deeply into the historical heartbeats of Tanzania.
1. The Echoes of Early Man: Olduvai Gorge & Laetoli
Embark on a safari that transports you back to the very dawn of humanity. Olduvai Gorge, often referred to as the "Cradle of Mankind," is a pivotal archaeological site where Drs. Louis and Mary Leakey discovered fossils that changed our understanding of human evolution. Just a stone’s throw away lies Laetoli, where the preserved footprints of our ancestors from 3.6 million years ago were found.
Our expert guides at Safari Multiways will help you connect the dots of our ancient past, making each discovery an enlightening experience. Imagine walking through the same landscapes where early humans once roamed!
2. The Timeless Stone Town: Zanzibar’s Cultural Heart
Zanzibar, a semi-autonomous archipelago off the coast of Tanzania, is a treasure trove of history. The highlight, Stone Town, is a World Heritage site that boasts of intricately carved wooden doors, narrow alleyways, and a captivating blend of Arab, African, Indian, and European influences. Our tours include walking explorations of this historic area, visits to the Sultan’s Palace, the Old Fort, and the hauntingly beautiful Slave Market Museum.
Evenings in Zanzibar offer serene dhow cruises at sunset, complemented by tales of explorers and traders who once navigated these waters. Let Safari Multiways weave these rich narratives into your unforgettable historical tour.
3. The Great Ruins of Kilwa Kisiwani
For those who revel in exploring ancient ruins, Kilwa Kisiwani is a must-visit. This UNESCO World Heritage site was once a thriving Swahili trading town and played a critical role in the gold trade from the 13th to 16th centuries. With Safari Multiways, you can explore the Great Mosque, the Husuni Kubwa palace, and ponder over the remnants of what was once one of the most powerful towns along the East African coast.
4. The Majestic Rock Paintings of Kondoa
Located several hours from Arusha, the Kondoa Rock-Art Sites contain paintings that span thousands of years and offer insights into the changing cultures of the area’s inhabitants. These ancient artworks, hidden amidst the escarpments, depict scenes of early human life, animals, and various symbolic inscriptions. Our guided tours not only highlight these wonders but also respect the sacred nature of these sites.
5. Engaruka: The Mystery of the Vanished Village
In the shadows of Mount Kilimanjaro lies the mysterious ruins of Engaruka.
