This safari program brings the client into contact with two unique ethnic tribes and cultures; near the Tarangire National park, you will meet members of the Datoga Tribe, these are traditional herdsmen and therefore they are nomadic, wondering from place to place in search of pastures. To these tribesmen money is usually of little interest, real value is attached to items like used tyres which they use to make sandals to wear in the jungle on their unending journeys with their cattle in search of green pastures, therefore whenever possible we never miss the opportunity to keep them well supplied with used tyres in order to win a warmer reception for our clients when they are visiting.
During the same program we also visit the land of the Hadzabe, close relatives of the Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert environs, with similar clicking language; nothing pleases these unique people like a chance to obtain replenishments of Arrow points because they are basically Hunters and Gatherers. After the encounter with the Hadzabe Bushmen the visitors have an opportunity to come face to face with the Maasai tribe's men, prominent and graceful tribe with strong cultural and traditional norms. They interface avails the visitors a memorable learning experience of this famous culture and to buy arts, beads made by the Maasai Ladies and other antiques.
All the communities in the areas where we operate are given the opportunity and priority to sell their art and culture pieces to our clients and to supply fresh groceries to our camps in order to bring in the much needed extra income.
Since this culture and wildlife program is operated under canvass, the environment is constantly under low impact utilization because of the way we blend our tents with the surroundings, this blending enables the resident animal population to continue using the area while we are in camp and they see no difference once we have broken camp and departed . We take extra effort to ensure minimum disturbance to the environment.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
