Manyara National Park/Mto Wa Mbu Activities
CLASSIC EXPERIENCES
Classic Miwaleni Waterfalls & Lake
Right at the foot of the great rift valley, the Miwaleni waterfalls is are naturally lines with papyrus plants. The papyrus plants (Mikeka in Swahili) are popular among Rangi people who live in the area, they use them to make mats, baskets, and lots of other useful items which you are likely to come across in the local markets or while visiting a cultural item shop.
Classic TingaTinga painting Class
Ever heard of the popular African stick figure paintings which could sometimes be worth thousands of dollars? well, you are about to have an entire class on how to paint them so that you can now save money and paint yours. This art style that was introduced by Eduard Said TingaTinga is known in history to spark a revolutionary movement in Tanzania on the creation of African Art and paintings.
Classic Canoe/Kayaking
Another great opportunity for nature and bird lovers to explore the lake Manyara national park from a different perspective. You are going to be accompanied by a well-trained canoeing guide and can enjoy this breathtaking experience for approximately 2.5hours.
Classic Walking Safaris
opt to experience African safaris differently by dumping your jeep for a couple of hours and walk around the national parks instead. This is a GUIDED tour where you will walk side by side with one of the park’s knowledgeable and skillful RANGER through areas reached by only foot. A very good opportunity for BIRD LOVERS to have an up-close encounter with hundreds of different species inside the park but as well as getting to know the park’s flora and fauna.
AUTHENTIC EXPERIENCES
Authentic TukTuk/BodaBoda tour around Mto wa Mbu
Public means of Transport here in Tanzania are excitingly unique and thrilling. Tuktuk (Bajaj) a popular Indian mode of transport has as well been adopted in the country where it can commute up to 4 pax. BodaBoda (Motorcyle) on the other hand is a more of a cheaper “private” transport where it can commute a maximum of only 2pax. Both these modes have played a big role in providing employment to Tanzanian youths and can be a very good way to view the city in a unique way.
Authentic Orphanage Visit
Wild Authentic Tanzania has partnered up with an Orphanage in Mto wa Mbu for visitors who would love to travel with a purpose. It is no secret that there are still many children who live in difficult conditions and carry difficult backgrounds. With full hearts, Wild Authentic Tanzania offer this to guests who strictly want to make a difference and we do not charge a single cent for transport to the orphanage. Talk to us to learn more!
Authentic Local Primary School Visit
Education is technically a basic need for every child but unfortunately in developing countries, Tanzania being among, not every child gets this opportunity and even the ones who do, not all of them get to the best learning environments. Visit a local government school where you can get to interact with amazing and high-spirited local children. Tour around the school’s classrooms and other surroundings where you will get a clear picture of the lives of these children and their education system. If you would like to donate something to the school, we suggest it be in kind rather than cash. Things like Books, Stationaries, Uniforms, shoes, school bags, e.t.c . Check with us for more info
Authentic Local Cuisine
I am guessing a trip wouldn’t be complete without trying out what we Tanzanians eat on the daily basis, not talking about your typical hotel local food but food from actual local restaurants and if adventurous enough, street! From Ugali to Mahindi Choma, we are all about it.
Authentic Local Cuisine Cooking Class
You can take your favorite local food recipe back home and proudly share this skill with family and friends. A cooking class where you will learn how to make different Tanzanian dishes including the famous country’s staple food; Ugali. Other foods like Banana plantains with beef/beans, Makanda (Maize with beans/beef), Sardines, native vegetables like Mchicha, Mnafu, Saladi, Matembere . The good news is that Tanzanians do not naturally follow diets limitations like vegan or vegetarian but the food is sufficiently broad to offer a wide variety of alternatives regardless of dietary preferences. The class is approximately 1.5 hours
Authentic Home Stay (Mama Happy)
Go to Saladi farm, pick some saladi and come make some ugali & Saladi, Go to Ndizi farm and cut some ndizi to cook, Go to the local market and get ingredients, Hike along the rift valley, Walk around the Village, Sell at Mama happy’s local shop e.t.c
Authentic Church Mass (Sunday Mornings)
during the early days of colonialism, missionaries in Tanganyika introduced Christianity, while Arabs in Zanzibar introduced Islam. Following Du Tanganyika and Zanzibar’s independence, people moved to and from both lands spreading both Christianity and Islam. Religion has remained an important element of many Tanzanians’ lives to this day. You may experience Christianity from an African perspective by attending a local Christian Church service where you will notice not several similarities but as well as huge differences with your usual Sunday services back home. The service is approximately 2 hours
Authentic Bicycle Tour
We rent bicycles for you to tour around this little but lovely community of Mto wa Mbu. Since agriculture is the backbone of the area, you will pass along many farms growing different crops such as rice plantations. Banana plantations e.t.c as well as people’s homes. The tour is approximately 2.5 hours
Authentic Maasai Boma Stay
You are welcomed by a Maasai guide, who then shows you around a Maasai the village and introduces you to villagers. You may interact with them, observe their cooking and dancing, and gain a thorough understanding of the Maasai way of life. After supper, the village head will talk about their customs and culture, and you may also tell him about your experiences. Next day you will wake up early ready to milk cows with Maasai ladies. After breakfast, you go fetch water with the ladies and learn how they carry the water buckets on their heads. Later you visit a traditional Maasai doctor and experience how he uses plants to cure different diseases.
