This one-of-a-kind cultural tour offers travelers the rare opportunity to engage with two of Tanzania’s most iconic and traditional tribes, the Maasai and the Hadzabe on the same day.
Unlike typical tourist visits, this experience is led by trusted local guides, ensuring genuine cultural interaction, respectful storytelling, traditional dances, and hands-on activities like bushwalking with Hadzabe hunters. With small group sizes, comfortable transport from Arusha, and a focus on authenticity, you’ll enjoy a meaningful, immersive, and ethical cultural journey that supports local communities and preserves living traditions.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
If your tour starts from Arusha, we arrange a face-to-face meet-up either at your hotel, lodge, or a convenient meeting point to introduce you to your guide and review your trip plan. We usually start pickups approximately 30 minutes before the scheduled departure time to ensure a timely and smooth start. For larger groups or traffic considerations, pickups may start up to 45 minutes in advance.
Upon arriving at the NTC Building, you’ll find Sanna Cafe on the ground floor – a cozy spot with great coffee, tasty pastries, and friendly service. Guests can meet their guide here, who will be waiting with their name for a smooth start to the trip.
