At Tena Expeditions, we believe the heart of travel lies in the people you meet and the stories you share. Our cultural experiences invite you to step beyond the usual tourist path and immerse yourself in the rich traditions, customs, and daily lives of Tanzania’s diverse communities.
Step into the world of the Maasai people – renowned for their resilience and traditions. With the guidance of a community liaison, you’ll:
Join in a “Adumu” (jumping dance) and learn about the meanings behind their attire, jewelry, and storytelling.
Explore daily life through a village walk, gaining insight into their homesteads, cattle-raising, and social structure.
Enjoy cross-cultural dialogue over a traditional meal by the fire.
Nestled on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro, the Chagga people are known for their farming skills and coffee cultivation. Explore traditional Chagga houses, sample locally brewed banana beer, and discover the secrets of their underground tunnels built during tribal conflicts.
Tanzania’s coffee is world-renowned, and a plantation visit offers a hands-on experience from bean to cup. Learn about the cultivation process, roast your own beans, and enjoy the freshest coffee you’ll ever taste while soaking in the scenic countryside.
Experience the vibrant heart of Arusha by exploring its bustling local markets. Stroll through colorful stalls filled with fresh produce, aromatic spices, handmade crafts, and traditional fabrics. Interact with friendly vendors, learn about local ingredients, and get a true taste of Tanzanian daily life. This tour offers an authentic cultural encounter and a perfect opportunity to shop for unique souvenirs.
