The Maasai Cultural Village & Museum is about 74 kilometers away from the town of Moshi, and the road is not very close. There are dozens of local Maasai people living in the cultural village.

Lake Natron

Lake Natron

4.0/5

Lake Natron is located in the northeast of Arusha Region, Tanzania, adjacent to the East African Rift Valley volcanic belt on the border with Kenya. This alkaline lake has a unique chemical composition formed by the dissolution of volcanic ash. When the pH value of the lake water reaches 10.5, it presents an ochre-red hue, and the shallows crystallize into coral-like sedimentary structures composed of sodium carbonate. Every dry season, it attracts 2 million lesser flamingos to nest here, and the pink flocks of birds and the reflections on the lake form a landmark ecological landscape. The lakeshore is dotted with black basalt terraces formed by volcanic eruptions. The Gelay volcano fumaroles continue to release sulfur-containing gases, forming mist in the morning light. The professional photography team provides anti-corrosion equipment rental services and guides the shooting of mineralized bird specimens and salt crust cracked landforms. During the rainy season when the water level rises, you can take a light aircraft to observe the geometric saline-alkali mudflats cut by the lake. The area implements strict ecological protection. Visitors need to wear special salt-alkali protective boots, and all trips are accompanied by certified ecological guides.Tanzania · Ngorongoro

As the northern extension of the Selous ecosystem, Mikumi National Park, with its golden grasslands and baobab trees, forms a typical East African savannah landscape. Mikumi National Park is one of the better natural parks in Tanzania and is also very close to Dar es Salaam. Visitors can watch various animals in the jungle and experience exotic customs. In the early morning, drive across the Mkata Plains, where you can often see zebras and wildebeests migrating under the watchful eyes of giraffes, elephants bathing in the sand on the banks of the Ruaha River, and hippos looming in the reeds. Blue-eared starlings and white-backed vultures gather at the bird-watching point at the foot of Maragure Mountain. The national park has specially set up a night observation area, where the agile figures of servals hunting can be captured under the searchlight. The tent camp is built on the mountain, and the terrace overlooks the grassland under the starry sky. At dusk, taste Swahili-style barbecue at the camp, accompanied by traditional Ngoma drum music, and feel the wonderful fusion of wilderness and modern conservation concepts.Tanzania · Morogoro

This building is like a Tardis in that you have no idea how big it is or how much art there is. The museum is right in the middle of the city, right under the main train station and metro station and a stone's throw from the cathedral. The building is full of floors and there are little nooks and crannies to walk around in and out of, full of sculptures and paintings, we were there for 21/2 hours but could have stayed longer, I'm not sure we saw everything. We especially liked the pop art floor and all the different pieces. There is also a cafe which we didn't go in but looked nice.

The Tanzania-Zambia Railway seems to be built by China with support from Tanzania. I went to see it and it was quite dilapidated. On the way back, I ran into a traffic jam. Street vendors don't need a storefront or customers to come to them. Everyone can become a mobile store owner. They can use the traffic jam to sell goods.
