Part of the reasons for frequenting and visiting Tanzania is more related to learning about the cultural aspects of Tanzania. Tanzania has a diversity of cultures. Statistics say that there are over 100 languages in Tanzania. That is too much!

 And remember that behind every language, there is a culture associated to it. If you decide to come to Tanzania for a cultural tour, there are so many things you need to know before you set your foot in Tanzania:

Cultural tours include other activities.

Actually if you try to study most of the itineraries in Tanzania, you will realize that a lot of them are created for wildlife tourists-those that want to come for a wildlife adventure. The only part they mention of culture is when it involves some wildlife adventure. Most of the cultural villages to visit like the Maasai Village are located nearby national parks which makes sense to include wildlife as part of the tour.

You shall receive an overwhelming welcome.

There are certain aspects of life that are deep routed in the African culture and one of them is welcoming visitors. They say that there is no way in your compound or yard, once someone passes by, they qualify to be visitors and one of the ways to show that they are visitors is by welcoming them with smiles, hugs, singing and all other aspects that show happiness.

When you are visiting cultural villages in Tanzania, be ready to see happiness. Depending on the culture, expect to see some jumping, singings, dances, laughter, and others.

You shall interact with the locals.

Most of the cultural tours shall require you to sit down with the local people or their leaders to tell you their story of how they survive in this world. The best way to go on a cultural tour is to prepare some questions for such people. Just go when you have questions to ask and I’m sure, you shall get some valuable answers.

Cultural tours are full of surprises.

One thing about cultures is the difference in the way people live. Be ready to see surprises of different way of living compared to what you are used to. And don’t be quick to judge; rather just learn to accept the difference. You trip to the cultural villages shall be full of insights and fun if you learn to accept the differences than to judge the people.

Make sure you are willing to try new things.

It could be about their food, about their survival techniques, food gathering techniques, the games they play. I mean anything, just prepare to learn and try out some few things because as a matter of fact, the locals shall be thrilled and they shall feel as if you are part of their society if you accept to try out a few things about their culture.

One of the most challenging experiences during the peak season is finding the best accommodation. Since there is an outflow of tourists during the peak season, accommodations really becomes such a challenge. I mean all those tourists have to find somewhere to sleep. No one sleeps in safari cars.

 At the end of their day, they have to go somewhere for dinner and overnight stay. This is normally a hotel, lodge, or a camp

. To avoid all those inconveniences, this is where the aspect of preparing in time becomes handy. You must prepare in time by searching for the best accommodation.

Plan according to your passion

 The reasons as to why many tourists travel is to simply achieve some of their travel goals.  You should always start by looking through your heart for any ambitions that you have for travel. For example, if the only thing that can force you to hit the road is Mountain climbing, then that’s your travel dream or ambitions.  For those that love wildlife, one of your objectives would be to watch the different animal species. Understand your travel passion and make sure you go for it.

Select the destination.

 Though many people think of Africa as a continent with identical activities, some tourist attractions in different nations may not be available in another. Africa boosts a great pride of tourism activities. Most countries are identified with a particular activity and this could be the only reason why any tourist would pay all they can to ensure that they travel to that country.

 For example, those that are interested in Mountain gorilla trekking, you have a few choices-Uganda, Rwanda and Congo however if you are interested in Mount climbing, you better book your next flight to Tanzania. Just like humans who have similar features but different characters, each African country has its own tourism secret. Make good research to clarify if a particular country has got what you want.

Consider the activities.

You are almost half way through the battle of going for the best African safari. After making sure that you know which country to visit, the next stop is finding the best tour itinerary that shall fully give you the best adventures. Look through each and every itinerary to see if they have the available activities, which shall give you satisfaction.

Itineraries are designed by incorporating several activities into a bundle to give the tourist such an immerse experience. Look through each and every itinerary to ensure that it shall satisfy all your travel needs and once you find it, just choose that.

Select the tour company.

Of course to have a fruitful safari, you need to be guided and explained the different facets of travel. You should be in position to have a great time especially if you decide to book your safari through a tour operator. Tour operators are always knowledgeable about destinations and they are more interested in your fun than anything else.

What items are needed?

Packing is vital because you need items to use on a daily basis. Humans consume a lot of services and products-you should be ready to know what is necessary to have a successful safari.

Normally, there are simple items that can miss in travellers’ handbag- items like safari clothes, safari shoes, Camera, and chargers should be among the list of items to pack.

How do I select the best tour operator?

This is a thoughtful question that requires some little research about the qualities of a good tour operator to make the best selection. In Tanzania, much as there are generalists tour operators-tour operators who offer a wide range of activities and cater for all sorts of tourists.

Some tour operators have distinguished themselves by only offering a certain range of activities like mount Kilimanjaro climbing experts and some others only concentrate on a certain niche of tourists- for example, there are tour operators who only offer their services to luxurious tourists. It depends on what you are really looking for but in most cases, after considering several factors, you always choose the best tour operator.

How to be safe?

Protection is necessary for every tourist. You don’t protect yourself because you have gone to country of uncertainty, you protect yourself because that is part of human nature to survive on this planet. You need to protect yourself against disease likes Malaria and against the law-to make sure that you don’t get into trouble. The simple trick is to prevent Malaria using several techniques and to listen and follow instructions while in Tanzania.

You should be certain of what you really need such that you pick an itinerary that line with your travel mission. In addition, you should consider the amount of money you want to spend on that trip. It should be something that shall guide you in making the final decision about the itinerary.

Is accommodation guaranteed?

There is no way you shall survive without resting. The first time I was introduced to tourism especially the itinerary; I thought people go into the wilderness and stay there for days until they finish their tour. That is not the case; you should be in position to find a simple accommodation during your trip. There are factors of convenience, availability, and price that you consider before you choose the best accommodation.

Do I need to worry about transport?

Most of these questions are very simple to answer; the tour operator does all the work for you.
