Tanzania 2007 - people and cultural impressions
Home
 

Local artwork

 

Here I have put some pictures visualizing the country as I experienced it during the journey around in Northern Tanzania in 2007. Photos of tribesmen from the different regions; shepherd Maasai, Sukuma people near Lake Victoria, Ntoki and the Hadzabe bushmen people living in the Lake Eyasi aera. And additional photos showing the amazing nature and the great wildlife in this fantastic country in Eastern Africa. Compared to the boiling pot Kenya, Tanzanians are much more friendly and relaxed.

Pictures from Zanzibar are shown in a separate page.
