Tanzania World Heritage Sites

From the Heights of Kilimanjaro to Depths of Zanzibar

TANZANIA IS A COUNTRY WHICH ENCOMPASSES AN EXTRAORDINARY HISTORY AND AN ABUNDANCE OF NATURAL WONDERS; THEREFORE, IT IS NO SURPRISE TANZANIA HAS EIGHT WORLD HERITAGE SITES. THESE CHOSEN SITES ARE A FUNDAMENTAL REMINDER WHY INTERACTION BETWEEN PEOPLE AND NATURE MUST ACHIEVE A BALANCE OF PRESERVATION AND CONSERVATION BETWEEN THE TWO.”

STONETOWN, ZANZIBAR

Stone Town, or Mji Mkongwe in Swahili (meaning “ancient town”), is the oldest part of Zanzibar City. The old town is built on a triangular peninsula of land on the western coast of the island and was awarded World Heritage Site status in 2000. usti cation for the inscription includes its rich cultural fusion and harmonization; its great symbolic importance in the suppression of slavery; and the intense seaborne trading activity between Asia and Africa, which is illustrated today in the exceptional architecture

and urban structure of Stone Town.

KILIMANJARO NATIONAL PARK

The Kilimanjaro National Park is located near Moshi, Tanzania. It is centered on the iconic and dramatic snow-clad slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro, which covers an area of 753 km (291 square miles). In 1973, the mountain above the tree line was classi ed as a ational Park and was opened to public access in , ut it wasn’t until 1987 UNESCO listed the park as a World Heritage Site.

KONDOA ROCK ART SITE

The Kondoa rock art site is a series of caves carved into the side of a hill looking out over the steppe. The cave site is nine kilo eters off the ain highway from Kondoa to Arusha, about 20 km north of Kondoa. The site has a spectacular collection of images from over 150 shelters depicting elongated people, animals, and hunting scenes. Today many of the shelters are still considered to have ritual associations with the

people who li e near y, re ecting their beliefs and cosmological traditions.

THE NGORONGORO CONSERVATION AREA

The Ngorongoro Conservation Area CA oasts the nest blend of landscapes, wildlife, people and archaeological sites in Africa and is situated 180 km west of Arusha. The rich pasture and permanent water of the crater oor supports a large resident population of wildlife

of up to 25,000 predominantly grazing animals. The conservation area is administered by the NCA Authority, and its boundaries follow the boundary of the Ngorongoro Division of Ngorongoro District. It covers an area of 8,288 km (3,200 square miles).

SELOUS GAME RESERVE

The Selous Game Reserve covers a total area of 54,600 km (21,081 square miles) and is

one of largest fauna reserves of the world, located in the south of Tanzania. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982 due to the diversity of its wildlife and undisturbed nature. The reserve is home to typical savannah animals such as elephants, hippopotami, the rare African Wild Dog and crocodiles, which are all found in larger numbers compared to any other African park.

SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK

The Serengeti National Park is Tanzania’s oldest park, and one of the world’s last great wildlife refuges, hence its World Heritage Site status. It is most famous

for its annual migration of over one million white bearded (or brindled) wildebeest and 200,000 zebra. The park covers 14,763 km (5,700 square miles) of grassland plains and savannah as well as riverine forest and woodlands. The park lies in the north of the country, bordered to the north by the national Tanzania and Kenyan border, where it is contiguous with the Masai Mara National Reserve.

RUNS OF KILWA KISIWANI AND RUINS OF SONGO MNARA

The remains of these two great East African ports admired by early European explorers are situated on two small islands near

the coast. From the 13th to the 16th century, the merchants of Kilwa dealt in gold, silver, pearls, perfumes, Arabian crockery, Persian earthenware and Chinese porcelain; much of the trade in the Indian Ocean thus passed through their hands. Serious archaeological investigation began in the 1950s. In 1981 it was declared a World Heritage Site, and noted visitor sites are the Great Mosque, the Mkutini Palace and some remarkable ruins. However, the ruins are also on the List of World Heritage Sites in Danger. The list constitutes a call to improve their safe guarding and is designed to rally national and international efforts for their preservation.

If you’re a fishing enthusiastic, Tanzania has everything you could dream of, from fly fishing in crystal clear mountain streams, trolling the flood plains and the adventure and drama of deep-sea fishing.”

Deep sea fishing in Tanzania is an experience to be savoured. The Indian Ocean is rich in fish, with tuna and pelagics migrating through the Pemba Channel every year, with snapper, grouper and sharks in residence all year round. Imagine sailing through deep blue waters, the sun on your back as you wrestle a 30kg dorado or yellow fin tuna on board.

There’s a number of private companies and tour operators

specialising in deep sea fishing to guide you through the waters, offering fishing safaris for the dedicated angler. Zanzibar, Pemba and Mafia are the most popular destinations for deep sea fishing, with Dar es Salaam, Pangani and Tanga on the mainland.

For fresh water fishing, Tanzania’s lakes and rivers let you enjoy fly fishing and catch and release.

Customised boats have light and heavy tackle, electronics, GPS and safety equipment for the serious international fisherman. Excursions usually last for a day, with boats bringing you and your catch back to your hotel in time for dinner but live abroad options are also available. If you’re after an authentic Tanzanian experience, you can head out

on the water with a fisherman in a dhow or a ngalawa canoe and see how it’s done by the locals.

For fresh water fishing, Tanzania’s lakes and rivers let you enjoy fly fishing and catch and release. Mwanza, on the shores of Lake Victoria, the world’s second largest fresh water lake, is home to huge Nile Perch and Tilapia. Fishing isn’t permitted inside national parks but there are a number of lakes and rivers in the buffer zone open to anglers and even rainbow trout farms in Arusha, allowing visitors to relax into the tranquillity of the truly beautiful surroundings, watch the bird life and wildlife go by.

During the rainy season, rivers and streams swell, reviving the land and waters, teeming with fish life, perfect for a fishing safari.

Kilimanjaro National Park

Climbing

Africa’s snow-capped giant bursts out of the savannah to an almost haughty 5,895 metres. Mount Kilimanjaro is a stratovolcano and therefore boasts three peaks: Kibo (5,895 metres), Mawenzi (5,149 metres) and the Shira plateau (3,962 metres). Today, the volcano is still partly active. Don’t expect any display from Shira and Mawenzi – both collapsed over a million years ago – but sleeping beauty Kibo is still capable of some action. During the past century its cone has been seen smoking and expelling ominous rumbling noises from deep down its core.

Reaching the summit feels like being on top of Africa

When the German missionary Johannes Rebmann wrote about a snow-capped peak on the Equator in 1848, people didn’t take him seriously. But his words did trigger some daredevils to conquer the remarkable colossus. The first attempt in 1861 failed and it wasn’t before 1889 that the German geographer Hans Meyer became the first foreigner to reach Kibo Peak. The summit was baptised Kaiser Wilhelm Spitze (Kaiser Wilhelm Peak), after the Prussian ruler Wilhelm I. After independence in 1961 it was given a more local name: Uhuru (Freedom) Peak.

All adults of normal health and fitness should be able to make it to the top. There is no need to bring serious climbing equipment, but waterproof, windproof and warm gear (don’t forget mittens and a hat) is highly advisable. The conditions may change rapidly so bring a set of clothes for each day.

Kilimanjaro scores high on countless ultimate to-do lists. Reaching the summit feels like being on top of Africa, with the whole continent lying at your feet.

And best of all: most people reach the crater rim with no more than the right clothing, a humble attitude and a good measure of willpower.

It is not only about reaching the top however. Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is a journey from the tropics to the Arctic and back. The higher you climb, the colder it gets; Mount Kili encompasses several major climatic zones. You start from the surrounding hot, tropical region (800-1,900 metres). You then walk through the dense and lush montane forest (1,900-2,900 metres) inhabited with primates, antelopes and even elephants. After the forest you reach the bushy and grassy heath and moorland (2,900-4,000 metres) with huge heather and giant, alien-looking lobelias. The final vertical kilometre takes you through sparse, barren alpine desert (4,000-5,000 metres) to the chilly summit (up to 5,895 metres), consisting of lava desert and glacier patches. Mission accomplished: a vertical tour around the world in unrivalled beauty.

Accommodation

On the mountain: several huts on the Marangu route and campsites on the other routes. Outside the park: several hotels and campsites in Moshi town and the village of Marangu.

Note: advance booking through tour operators is required.

The six-day Marangu trail: the oldest way up Mount Kilimanjaro

Day 1: an 8 km trek from Marangu Gate to Mandara Hut that will take about 4-5 hours (ascent 760 m)

Day 2: an 11 km trek to Horombo Hut that will take about 5-6 hours (ascent 1,053 metres)

Day 3: Rest day

Day 4: an 11 km trek to Kibo Hut that takes about 4,5-6 hours (ascent 970 metres)

Day 5: a 21 km trek from Kibo Hut to Uhuru Peak, back to Kibo Hut and Horombo Hut that will take about 14-17,5 hours (ascent 1,142 metres, decent 2,112 metres)

Day 6: a 19 km trek to Marangu Gate that takes about 5-6 hours (decent 1,810 metres)

Alternatives

There are several other routes that take you to the summit of Kibo: Machame, Rongai, Umbwe and Londorosi/Lemosho. The Mweka route is used as a descent corridor for the Machame, Umbwe and Londorosi/Lemosho routes.

Note: although climbing Mount Kili is feasible for the many of us, no one said it is going to be easy. Keep in mind that it will be a challenging hiking experience at all times and the oxygen content of the air on top is 40% of that of sea level.

•Kilimanjaro National Park is a World Heritage Site and established in 1973 (yet officially opened in 1977).

•From west to east it stretches 45 km.

•Height: from 2,700 metres (Mandara) to 5,895 metres (Kibo).

•The park is easily accessible, arrival by tarmac road (steep slopes in the last section).

•It’s a 123 km drive from the town of Arusha, which will take about 2 hours: 1 hour to the town of Moshi (first 80 km). From there it takes another hour to Marangu Gate (1,970 metres), through the village of Himo.

•Although there are lots of hikers on popular Marangu route all year round, it is relatively quiet on the less frequently used routes.

All adults of normal health and fitness should be able to make it to the top

What reasons inspire people to scale Kilimanjaro today? Wasn’t the mountain conquered many years ago? Our writer Gervase Tatah explores the motives that draw people to Kilimanjaro, right from the days of Hans Meyer. It is now one hundred and twentyfive years since the first successful expedition to the peak of Mount Kilimanjaro. The mountain was conquered in October 1889 after almost 40 years of attempts by western climbers to explore the mountain in difficult expeditions which included men like: Johannes Rebmann (1848), Baron von der Decken (1861 and 1862), Charles New (1871), Harry Johnston (1883) and Hans Meyer (1887-1889).

The presence of a snowcapped mountain in Africa, became known to Europeans in 1848 when the German missionary Johannes Rebmann explored this part of East

Africa. However, reports from the explorer that there was a snow-capped mountain in Africa, so close to the Equator, was not believed until Hans Meyer and the Austrian mountaineer Ludwig Purtscheller climbed the mountain to the summit, ending a four- decade struggle among European explorers to reach the summit first and prove its snows.

Hans Meyer was a geology professor from Leipzig in Germany. He made four attempts to Kilimanjaro beginning in 1887

when the routes to the peak were not known, when the alpine forests round it was much thicker, and when its snow was much, much more prevalent on the slopes than it is today. Hans Meyer’s conquest indeed was difficult and historical.

Interestingly today, since Hans Meyer’s climb in 1889, the mountain still attracts climbers across the globe as if it is another beginning of discovery. Until today the attempt to climb Kilimanjaro is still the greatest challenge for adventurers wishing to reach the highest point on the African continent. But what really attracts people from every corner of the world, and from every age-set, to climb Kilimanjaro?

By and large, there are five good reasons that inspire people to climb Kilimanjaro:

1

. Kilimanjaro is a natural wonder: it is the highest mountain in Africa and the highest free-standing mountain in the world. It is a free-standing mountain because it is not a part of a mountain range; it just rises abruptly from the open plains to kiss the clouds with a snowcapped peak at an elevation of 5, 895m (19,340 feet).

2. Kilimanjaro is a dormant volcano but not an extinct one. The most recent activity was about 200 years ago; the last major eruption was 360,000 years ago. Ominous rumbles can sometimes be heard –and gases emerge from fume holes in the crater.

a winter wonderland of ice and snow – the magnificent beauty of the roof of the continent.

4.

. Almost every kind of ecological system in the world is found on the mountain, right from tropical crops on the cultivated slopes, to the lush alpine forest inhabited by wild animals. Above the forest lies the moorland zone where a cover of heather, giant lobelia and huge, cactus-like plants grow. Then there is an almost-lunar landscape, the saddle, which stretches between the two peaks of Kibo and Mawezi. The saddle is just a desert vainly dotted with moss and lichen.

Kilimanjaro is one of the world’s most accessible high summits: With the help of porters and a guide it is possible to walk all the way to the summit of Kibo without specialized mountaineering equipment, or experience, and Kilimanjaro can be conquered by any reasonably fit person. Most climbers reach the crater rim with little more than a walking stick, proper clothing and determination. The whole climb normally takes five or six days and involves four or five overnight stays in mountain huts or tents.

5. The highest point on the mountain, and indeed the whole of Africa, is Uhuru

Peak on Kibo. The peak provides views of spectacular glaciers and a yawning wide crater. Also on Kibo is the slightly lower peak of Gillman’s Point. These are the goals for most climbers. And those who reach Uhuru, the actual summit, or Gillman’s Point on the lip of the crater, earn certificates at the end of their expedition for their brave endeavours to walk to the Roof of Africa.

. Who Can Climb Kilimanjaro?

Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in the world where climbers can walk from the bo om to the peak without specialized equipment. opes and other technical climbing gear are not necessary. Most climbers reach the crater rim with just a walking stick and determination. However, climbing Kilimanjaro is physically demanding. ou should be in good shape before a empting the climb. Someone with a history of heart or lung problems must consult his or her physician before a empting to climb Kilimanjaro.

What kind of training and exercise does an aspiring climber need?

He or she needs training by hiking at list three times a week carrying some weight in a backpack preferably 15 pounds, about kilograms. If someone has an opportunity to do a hike in hilly areas, that is the best way to train. Mental preparation however, is the most important thing. The climber must be determined.

. How many routes are there?

There are seven climbing routes and all head to the peak from di erent directions. The routes vary considerably in length, di culty and scenery. They are Marangu oute, Machame oute, ongai oute, Shira oute, Lemosho oute, mbwe oute and Mweka oute It is possible to climb the mountain in five days, but more days on the mountain broadens the chances of summiting.

t essen s e e ui e t e t climbing Kilimanjaro?

For a comfortable climb you need comfortable hiking boots. ou need to dress in layers of cloth, a minimum of three layers. Bear in mind that co on cloth is not good because when it gets wet it does not keep you warm. n top of your layers of cloth, a jacket and pants are necessary. The head must be well protected, for this you need a shade hat for the sun, a warm hat and a balaclava for cold. Sunglasses are very important too; bring a few pairs including glacier sunglasses. For sleeping bring a full size sleeping pad and a sleeping bag.

. What about tents?

The quality of tents is very important high-

quality tents will protect you from storms, snow, rains and keep you warm and safe on Kilimanjaro. Tents need to be specifically for high altitudes and wind resistance.

.Do climbers need the same food at i tu e n the lower altitudes as you begin to climb, full meals with protein will give you enough energy for the climb. As you get higher, your body cannot digest protein and thus li le meat is served. All the way, the meals should contain vegetables and fruits for a proper diet. It is strongly advised you drink enough water every day; good hydration help acclimatization on the mountain.

. What measures do you take in case of an accident?

Kilimanjaro National Park has its well functioning rescue teams which work shoulder to shoulder with the company whose client has an accident. The rescue team can drive up to 12, feet above the sea level. Beyond that altitude they use di erent types of stretchers to carry the patient down the mountain depending on the severity of the problem. The patient is then taken by an ambulance to a hospital in Moshi town on the slopes of the mountain. Sometimes the patient is flown abroad for further care. For the case of highattitude sickness, the treatment is descend, descend, descend.

The uropean Investment ank’s first engagement in Tanzania for seven years includes expected targeted support for EUR 170 million new investment by female led companies across the country and EUR 100 million investment in blue economy firms. The dedicated support to blue economy investments represents the largest I support for targeted blue economy business financing anywhere in the world.

The new social and development impact of the new initiative will be enhanced by innovative blended financing backed by the European Union. This includes

enabling first-time borrowers to access finance and more companies to benefit from the scheme.

he largest e er siness financing engagement the the orld s largest m ltilateral an as signed by Thomas Östros, EIB Vice President and Abdulmajid Nsekela, Group CEO and anaging irector of Bank, Aziz Chacha, NMB Bank’s Treasurer and Cosmas imario is ro p egional Businesses Director and anaging irector an Tanzania in the presence of H.E. Dr Hussein Ali Mwinyi.

The uropean Investment ank is pleased to return to Tanzania and confirm our largest ever support for targeted investment by entrepreneurs and businesses across the country. The new business financing cooperation

between the I , D , M and will unlock million of new investment by Tanzanian business, including female led companies and blue economy firms. The new business financing confirmed today in Dar es Salaam demonstrates the close cooperation between Tanzania and European partners to ensure that Tanzanian companies can expand, create skilled jobs and explore new business opportunities in the years ahead.” said Thomas Östros, European Investment ank ice President.

The million I loan to D will enhance access to finance by micro, small and medium-sized enterprises across Tanzania, and includes dedicated financing for women-led businesses and blue economy enterprises. The I backed credit line will support business growth, contribute to gender equality and empowerment of women and enable blue

economy companies to invest in a better future. It was an honour to enable Vice President Östros and his colleagues to see at first-hand how D ’s business clients are creating jobs and developing skills” said Abdulmajid Nsekela, Group CEO and Managing Director of D ank

The new million I backing for M will allow businesses across Tanzania to grow. The dedicated focus on supporting women-owned businesses and advancing investment in the blue economy will harness Tanzania’s full potential and overcome longstanding barriers to investment and job creation.” said Aziz hacha, Treasurer for M ank

Tanzania and the I share the same commitment to ensure that Tanzanian companies can access finance and invest in a better future. This new EUR 20

million cooperation comes at the right time for businesses here in Tanzania and will enable womenowned businesses to become more efficiency while helping the country to attain an inclusive economy. Also, this fund will boost innovation in harvesting blue economy opportunities for a more sustainable future.” said osmas imario, roup egional usinesses Director and Managing Director of ank Tanzania.

“The European Union is committed to accelerating private sector development in Africa. The new cooperation between I lobal, D , M and confirmed at the -Tanzania usiness Forum in Dar es Salaam today will enable Tanzanian companies to invest and create jobs, ensure that companies led by women can expand and allow blue economy firms to create jobs and e plore new markets in the years ahead.”

said Ambassador Manfredo Fanti, Head of the European nion Delegation to Tanzania and the East African Community. n estimated percent of women-owned businesses in Tanzania do not have access to the finance they need due to challenges including lack of collateral or limited awareness of available financial products. The new I backed business financing initiative includes targeted investment that will unlock EUR 170 million of new investment in companies owned by women. The investment is compliant with the 2x Criteria, the global industry standard for gender lens investing. In 2019, I was the first multilateral development bank to adopt the 2x criteria.

The Tanzania investment also counts towards I ’s SheInvest initiative that ist mobilizing EUR 2 billion to boost women’s

economic empowerment across Africa, Latin America and Asia. Increasing access to quality financial products and services by women entrepreneurs is essential across the world. Globally, SMEs play a vital role in enhancing and growing local economies. However, these businesses, especially women-owned business, were found to face the greatest hurdles in accessing growth finance capital.

esearch confirms that women entrepreneurs often find themselves as part of the “missing middle”, i.e., private businesses often perceived to be too small or too risky to receive traditional sources of commercial financing. In Tanzania 48% of adults are still excluded from formal financial services, with a 13% points gender gap.

y providing attractive financing terms subject to lending to female-led companies, the I is supporting the financial inclusion of women in the Tanzanian economy.

The new initiative will enhance access to finance l e economy business and is expected to enable EUR 100 million of new investment by both marine based fishing maritime transport and tourism companies and marine related business such as seafood processing ports and ship ilding as ell as red cing the impact of land based industry on the marine environment.

Implementation of the new initiative is expected to be

enhanced by sharing technical and financial best practice, gender financing and blue economy investment expertise through technical assistance programmes and other financial support backed by the European Union through the European Commission’s Africa Investment Platform.

The new initiative is aligned with the EU Global Gateway’s priorities, including improving access to finance, with a particular focus on women owned or managed businesses and enterprises.

The Untold Story of Tingatinga Legacy

Edward Saidi from 1937 – 1972

Tingatinga art is a familiar sight around Tanzania’s tourist centres. The exuberantly crowded canvases of fantastic birds, sinuously graceful animals and traditional village life can be seen across the country. Tingatinga is a uniquely African art form, characterized by its simplicity and brightly coloured two-dimensional images against a flat colour background. But where did this style originate from, and who was Tingatinga?”

In 1972, at the height of their success, Tingatinga was shot dead by the police after a car chase in a case of mistaken identity. Under a government directive, his fellow artists formed a co-operative and named it in his honour, but its composition began to change.

More outsiders joined the group and the paintings tended to become more formulaic and standardized in both form and content. The original group had painted on boards of varying sizes but the 60 centimetre square format became the favourite format, which led to the categorisation of the work of Tingatinga artists as “square paintings”.”

. Focus on Niche Markets

- Selling everything to everyone in a major market can blur your image and is very competitive. Instead, position yourself as a market leader in a niche market. Niche specialists focus on specific industries or type of customers. Based on previous sales history, pick a niche market that drives your greatest sales, profitability and quickest sales cycle. Focus your efforts on the proven niche market and this will drive sales growth with the least amount of effort.

Bigger sales revenue and profitability comes from bigger offerings. Offer super sizes, volume discounts, extended contracts or product bundles. Try small “Early Buy”

incentives to increase volume, but keep them small with a time limit. Stand strong on the value your offering provides and stick with the original price. Do not discount pricing on your offerings if they truly provide the value described.

Alcohol can also reduce the production of normally formed sperm needed for a successful pregnancy. Stay away from steroids as well, as they have been found to cause testicular shrinkage, which can result in infertility. As much as possible, avoid environmental toxins such as chemicals, radiation, heavy metal exposure, and pollution, which have all been linked to low sperm production

Eat lots of foods high in antioxidants (carotenes, vitamins A, C, E and selenium) such as green leafy vegetables, kale,

yams. You may want to consider taking supplements, especially if your vitamin C or zinc levels are low. Vitamin C (2,000 to 6,000 milligrams daily) helps prevent sperm from clumping or sticking together, thus improving the chances for fertility.

Zinc supplementation (100 to 200 mg daily) has been shown to increase testosterone levels, sperm count and sperm motility. High zinc sources include oysters, organ meats, lean beef, turkey, lamb, herring, wheat germ, legumes and nuts. Other nutrients that have been shown to improve sperm counts include essential fatty acids (9 to 12 grams daily), chromium (1,000 mcg daily), selenium (200 mcg daily), copper (2 mg daily), vitamin E (800 IU (400mg daily) B-complex vitamins (50 mg daily).

TThe Ol Mesera Restaurant

A Modern Tanzanian Dining Experience

Located in the Manyara Region, close to mother nature. The Ol Mesera restaurant serves as a perfect spot to dine and enjoy Tanzanian cuisines with a modern twist, while you are embarking on a safari.

For an unforgettable Tanzanian dining experience, come and join us for a meal at Ol Mesera Restaurant, taking classic, traditional recipes and ingredients from the local surrounding area and providing you with a feast of modern Tanzanian flavours, textures and colours.

The Restaurant opens at 8:00 am and last orders at 6:00 pm for both walk-in clients and tour groups alike. Start with a heartwarming pumpkin, coconut and ginger soup served with a selection of “Biting Bitings”, from our well renowned threecheese samosas, potato bhajia and plantain crisps.

A FEAST FOR THE SENSES

The Dishes are locally inspired dishes, created to celebrate the “Karibu culture” with a little bit of a modern twist. The two makes the dishes unique and stylish, giving you a whole new dining experience.

For mains, enjoy a family style feast of locally inspired dishes,

created to celebrate the “Karibu culture” in full swing Dishes including Mchicha (Wild Spinach with Cashews and Coconut Milk)

secret recipe of “Chips Ugali” (Local Maize Flour Fries). Great vegetarian, gluten-free and vegan options are available.

ACTIVITIES AT OLMESERA

Tanzanite Tour

A lot of travelers tell us that they

the animals – and return for the people. That’s a testament to the warm, genuine hospitality on offer in Tanzania – equally fascinating, cultures that can be experienced in Tanzania. This is a country of storytellers, where myths and legends are passed down from generation to generation. African Galleria is

a place where you can meet the people behind the pieces, from the ebony wood carvers, jewelry designers, painters, craftsmen and chefs.

You know you are buying quality jewellery when you purchase a Tanzanite right in the heart of Tanzania. But have you ever wondered exactly how these precious stones are mined? At the African Galleria we have built a makeshift-mine on our property so that you can experience the life-cycle of each Tanzanite. There is also a ‘peek-window’ where you can watch our jewellers hard at work crafting your next one of a kind jewellery piece. Put some sparkle into your life by going on African Galleria’s Tanzanite Tour.

Ebony Tour

Tanzania is one of the only countries in the world that ethically produce ebony products. If you want to know

more and see for yourself, we recommend you go on the Ebony Tour. There you will get to see the jaw dropping transformations that these artists create. See them in action, turning a seemingly average looking tree stump, into amazing artworks that will take your breath away. Go on, have a look - seeing is believing!

Painting Tour

When people hear the word African, there are a few things

that instantly springs to mind. Going on an African Safari; experiencing the unique African culture and (probably most notably) seeing the wonderful talent and passion expressed in their works of art. At African Galleria, we appreciate art and we are proud to work alongside some of the best artists Tanzania has to offer. We have created a proverbial portal between client and creator, by giving the buyer a chance to shake hands with the artists themselves.
