CULTURAL TOURISM THE CONCEPT

Cultural tourism involves insight into the modern and traditional

life of people, at home at works, at play and at rest.

We consider that it is very inviting to tour Ngorongoro

, Serengeti, mikumi and Selous once one is in northern

or southern Tanzania. On request we can easily combine

 these cultural tours to a trip to the traditional tourist attractions

of Lake Manyara Arusha, Tarangire and Serengeti National

Parks and Ngorongoro crater, and also climbs to Mt Kilimanjaro

 and Mt Meru.

A CRUCIBLE OF CULTURES

 

The evocative mix of people and cultures in Tanzania creates

a tapestry of memories that stays with the visitor for a lifetime.

 

Since the dawn of mankind, when the savannahs of East and

Southern Africa saw the birth of humanity, Tanzania has been a

haven to countless peoples of many different origins. Tanzania

 history has been influenced by a procession of peoples, from

the original Bantu settlers from South and West Africa to the

 Arabs from Shiraz in Persia and the Oman; from the

Portuguese to the Germans and the British until finally,

Tanzanians took control of their own destiny independency

in 1961.

 

Example; Hehe people of Iringa Region were very hostile to

 the German rule. Chief Mkwawa led his people in a war against

German rule. Hehe tribe was very stronger so German soldiers

 used extra force to defeat hehe people. Hehe people were using

spears, arrows, bows; but Chief Mkwawa had at least few guns.

That is why they had a hope which gave them power. The war

 was fought for a long time until hehe people surrendered.

 

At this moment, chief Mkwawa was not ready to be caught by

 Germans. He committed suicide. Also Germans shot him,

cut his head and sent it to German Museum. In 1954 is when

his skull was brought back to Tanzania.

Now the skull is stored in a small Museum in Kalenga Area,

 Iringa Region. Many Germans and other tourists from Europe

come to experience this unique history.

 

Isimila Stone Age Site.

 

About 20km South of Iringa, on the main road to Mbeya,

some of the richest findsof Stone Age tools were discovered

in 1951. Many fossilized bones were also found in the area,

among them those of a mammal related to the modern giraffe,

but having a much shorter neck, and an extinct hippopotamus

 with unusual periscope like projections.

 

A TOUCH OF AFRICAN MAGIC.

 

Imagine a country that can fulfill every holiday dream you ever

had.

 A country of wide open spaces and magnificent wildlife,

of idyllic

palm fringed islands set in turquoise seas, of pirate tales

and sultans palaces, of smiling faces and warm hospitality.

If you distilled everybody quintessential dream of Africa

 into one

 country, Tanzania would be the result.

It is an intensely sensual land, appealing to sight, sound,

 taste, touch

and smell.

Somehow everything seems to be bigger, wilder, more exotic

and quite simply, more Spectacular in Tanzania.

 

Tanzania enjoys the cultural heritage more than 120 tribes

spiced with touches of Chinese, Persian and Arab influence

from long ago traders.

In Tanzania there are many tribes. But some of the Tourists

(Europeans & Americans) culture and customs are imitated

and adopted this Western culture.

Most of which adopted are good. Now the Western and Local

culture make up a mixture which is exciting. Come and Discover

with JATL.

It is worthwhile to come and know which of your customs/traditions

are adopted by most Africans!? Meanwhile you will be exploring

cultural diversity of Tanzanians and East African at large. From

Indian Ocean coast cultures to Western Tanzania tribes, From

the Chagga people in the snow capped Mountain  Kilimanjaro to

the Maasai tribe of the endless plains of Serengeti & radle of Mankind

the Ngorongoro crator. Then from the large tribe Sukuma and Hayas

 living around Lake Victoria to the Southern Highlands mix of many

 small tribes. Then you will get opportunity to know the great war

caves of the African warriors and their relative history.

 

Around Mt. Kilimanjaro there are interesting and exciting

water falls with azure blue waters. It is the area of relaxation,

 for swimming, taking photos and films; it has the atmosphere

of tranquility and seclusion.

African Rift Valley escarpment, just the entry point to Lake

Manyara National Park. The area around Mto wa Mbu was

 rather dry and hardly populated till the early fifties, when the

 first steps were made to irrigate the area. Within few year

 hundreds of acres of newly cultivable land were created.

The rapid population growth also turned Mto wa Mbu in

a melting pot of cultures. Various Traditional modes of

production stand as an example of this culture diversity.

 from Kigoma makes palm oil from palm trees that he brought

 from the shores of lake.
