continent, and facing the Indian Ocean, Tanzania’s

and sunny days are followed by cool and balmy nights,
and whether you’re on safari on the Serengeti plains or

temperatures are always welcoming and gentle. Consult

But sun-filled and beautiful days are not all that
Tanzania has to offer. On the contrary, the country’s
borders hold a vast number of people and tribes whose
varied cultures and traditions make up the rich tapestry
that is Tanzanian culture. Read on to learn more about
the Masaai culture and the customs of the Swahili Coast.
Although Tanzania is a country rich in culture and
traditions, it’s history is also one of treasured
heritage and pride. From the early days of mankind's
history, man has called the land of Tanzania home - its
verdant mountains, its scrubland plains. Find out more
about our country’s rich history, from the arrival of
merchants and traders on the Swahili Coast to the
peaceful political climate that exists today.
Tanzanians enjoy a climate of freedom and peace in our
daily lives, and value community and togetherness very
highly. Religion is an expression of community and
culture, and one that binds us all as citizens to our
country and to the people around us. Tanzanians practice
Christianity, Islam, and traditional African religions
in tolerance and understanding.
Religion defines our community and our sense of
identity, but culturally, we are all Tanzanians. Our
culture and our traditions can be seen in the everything
we surround ourselves with and the handicrafts that are
the specialties of our country. Visitors to Tanzania
will find the section on Shopping immensely useful in
helping them decide what to bring back for their friends
and loved ones from our amazing country.
