ECO & CULTURAL TOURS {GUIDED TOURS}


Food and drinks: During our Eco-cultural tours
these tours are traveled to very remote areas from the nearest Tanzania towns, in Moshi. Water, bread and jam/butter are brought up from the town. However we encourage our clients to buy local products such as eggs and vegetables from the local people to help boost their income. Traditional meals which would include a meat stew, rice, potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes, avocados, beans, Chapati, ugali (stiff corn porridge), roast bananas and sweet bananas and oranges to finish can be provided by a local family.

At the villages the guides would provide food and hot water for you. There is no electricity but the guides will provide firewood’s or kerosene lamps to boil water (very romantic!).
