Wild Tracks takes pride in sourcing organic, fair trade coffee by supporting the locally founded Aranga Coffee Group. Made up of 28 Tanzanian families, some of whose coffee bushes date back to 1910, they handpick, pulp and dry the coffee before it is roasted and ground into a rich, world-class brew. A visit to the farms showcases the whole process from start to finish, offering insight into traditional farming methods as well as Nkoaranga Village’s thriving agricultural lifestyle.

Tanzania’s German Embassy has funded a fantastic facility for the disabled, resulting in a delightful cafe and shop that sells only goods made by handicapped people, or similar organisations that benefit their fellows. Free Wi-Fi, delicious coffee and home-made meals, and a bakery that turns out mouth-watering breads and pastries all generate additional income that goes toward funding students with disabilities whose families are unable to afford school fees.

The patron saint of hope and desperate cases casts a benevolent eye over this inspiring institution which is Africa’s largest charity-funded school of its kind. Each student is chosen for their academic promise that would otherwise be compromised by poverty, and all are fed, housed and educated by the school. Visitors are given the chance to participate in everyday student life, or experience a home visit to the communities that the pupils come from.

As its name suggests, Cultural Heritage is home to an impressive collection of artifacts that bear testament to Tanzania’s rich creative legacy. From precious stones to carvings, antiques, literature, textiles and jewelry from all corners of the continent, there is decades’ worth of browsing to be had. Work with experts to design your own jewelry or take in the awe-inspiring collection of art in the owner’s specially designed gallery – or simply enjoy the sunshine and a book in the quiet of the restaurant. 

Northern Tanzania is home to the iconic warrior tribe of the Maasai, and no snapshot of the region is complete without their striking red attire and intricately decorative beading. Traditionally they gather for monthly market-days to trade goods and catch up on news, and the Maasai Market offers an insight into a lively culture of bartering and trading, and a chance to procure some of their exquisite crafts, artwork and jewellery.

Rarer than diamonds, these unfathomably ancient stones are unique to Tanzania, and make for a fascinating tale to be told. The Tanzanite Experience allows the opportunity to discover their history, as well as explore the process that turns out the stunning indigo jewels that we know. Including a walk through a life-size replica of a mine and the chance to handle the rough gems, the tour is as educational as it is enthralling.

Shanga Shangaa employs and empowers people with disabilities to create a variety of breathtakingly beautiful goods out of hand-blown recycled glass.
