SO MANY REASONS TO LOVE TANZANIAN

ART

bright Tingatinga paintings to beaded Maasai jewellery to the vibrant khanga fabrics displayed in the alley shops of Dar es Salaam, Tanzanian art is all about variety and a generous splash of colour.

MAASAI CRAFT The Maasai people are famous for their handmade and beaded accessories and jewellery. Maasai craft has also made a name for itself on the international fashion scene in terms of beautiful and exceptional fashion accessories. Maasai products are generally handmade by Maasai women, who sell their craftwork as a means to empower themselves. There is a huge variety of Maasai products, ranging from jewellery and modern fashion accessories made from coloured beads to delicately hand-carved wooden sculptures. Maasai products make fine souvenirs and have found a market internationally.

However, Maasai craftwork is about more than distinctive apparel or jewellery. In fact, every artefact designed by the Maasai denotes an aspect of their culture. People of the Maasai tribe believe that every colour has a meaning. carefully selected with a view to bringing

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for souvenirs, Maasai crafts included beaded key chains, tea coasters, compact mirrors and tiny human and animal figures. What to pay: When buying from a Maasai market, you can haggle for a good deal. It is recommended that you keep within the generally accepted price range for the item you wish to buy, so that you get a fair deal without ripping off the vendors. After all, they have to make a living.

WHAT BEADS SYMBOLISE Every bead used in Maasai jewellery has a special meaning. Some examples are: Red: Bravery, strength and unity Blue: Energy and livelihood Yellow: Fertility and well-being Orange: Warmth, friendship and generosity.

In 800 AD, as Arab settlers developed trade routes, they brought their own type of cooking as well, introducing recipes such as biryani (a spicy rice dish with meat, fish or vegetables) and pilau (rice cooked in stock with vegetables or meat) which are now very much part of Swahili cuisine.

Chole Mjini was never meant to be a hotel. It is a castaway fantasy, a jungle island retreat appealing to a specific kind of person – one who appreciates a return to simple luxuries that reawaken the senses rather than the predictable comforts of room service and air conditioning.

Renowned for its great cuisine, laid-back atmosphere and warm hospitality, Pole Pole is considered one of the most exclusive eco-resorts in Tanzania, balancing luxury with respect for local culture and environment. It is the perfect place to relax after a safari and the ideal base for exploring the underwater wonders of Mafia Island.

Visitors can go diving, sailing or snorkelling, enjoy barbecues on the sandbank of Mange, take cultural tours of the islands and visit the ancient towns of Chole and Kua. EXPLORE TANZANIA 2015-16
