A LITTLE CLOSER

The experience

Choose a village stop that fits your safari route, in the Ngorongoro or Lake Manyara area. A local host and guide introduce the visit through stories, craftwork and conversation. The exact location and programme are agreed in advance so there is time to participate without rushing onward.

  2. With your hosts

    Learn about local life through conversation, a guided visit and available beadwork or cultural demonstrations.

  3. Onward journey

    Browse crafts if you wish, then continue to your lodge or next planned stop.
