Culture in Tanzania

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

Tanzania has a rich cultural heritage and historical sites, such as the ancient rock art at Kondoa. While on safari in Tanzania, you’re able to learn about the cultures and ancient traditions of indigenous tribes such as the Maasai and Hadzabe.

Tanzania has a large Muslim population, too, with the island of Zanzibar being almost entirely Muslim. While almost any dress code is acceptable in hotels and lodges, in certain city streets, beaches, and rural communities, it’s advisable to dress and behave more conservatively.

The holy month of Ramadan, the religious importance of Fridays, and the need to pray five times per day are all important factors of the Islamic faith that tourists should be aware of when out and about in towns and villages.

When it comes to photography, never take a photo against someone’s will. Instead, ask your guide to help you obtain permission. Avoid taking photographs of border posts, people in uniform, airports, or military installations.
