These Cultural trips in Tanzania can end in tears if not handled properly. I have witnessed, very occasionally, people struggling with Tanzania customs, living conditions, food and especially the lack of water. Plan your visit and look for an organisation, or tour operator that is able to place you in a Tanzanian community and situation that you will feel most comfortable. Do not try to become a hard core mission worker in one afternoon.

The people of Tanzania are truly friendly and love to welcome guests into their homes. The experience is indeed remarkable for individuals or couples. The secret is to relax and be prepared for a few surprises and don’t be afraid to laugh with your hosts. You will return home a better person for your experience. Be warned, that once you begin to enjoy Tanzania you will return again and again.
