Day by Day Overview
After breakfast, proceed for Hadzabe and Datoga local activities (with packed lunch or returning for lunch.) Start at Mang’Ola village with half day bushman activities which includes hunting with bushmen and experiencing the ancient weapons methods used by Datoga. The Hadzabe hunter gathers are perhaps the most interesting of all the Tanzanian people. They eschew most ‘civilized comfort’ and don’t build huts, preferring rudimentary shelters of natural vegetation, caves or even in trees, like baboons whose meat they praise more than any other. They also use powerful longbows and professional arrows to bring down game as large as elephant and buffalo. The Datoga are pastoralists, the blacksmith is good at making local weapons such as spears and arrows. Their girls look beautiful dressed in traditional beaded leather. Return to accommodation for dinner and overnight.
After breakfast, proceed to Mto wa Mbu, a small village based on agricultural and tourism activities with about 120 ethnic tribes who are living in peace and harmony. Your half day tour includes seeing the banana plantation and rice fields, visiting a local market and Maasai boma visits. Enjoy a Masai welcome dance followed by introduction to a leader of the family. Learn about their history and traditions such as beads work, how they live in boma huts (take a sneak peek), weaving and learn the meaning of the colour of beads they use as well as the herbal trees that Maasai use as an aphrodisiac. Enjoy a buffet lunch at Rift Valley Cultural – Mto wa Mbu and later proceed to Arusha for dinner and overnight.
