Back to the Roots

Essentials that ground you.

Not just facts, but context.

The capital is Dodoma, but Dar es Salaam remains the heartbeat, a coastal city buzzing with culture, beaches, and local life.

Zanzibar offers white-sand beaches, spice markets, and a mix of African, Arab, and Indian influences.

Arusha sits at the foot of Mount Meru and serves as the gateway to Mount Kilimanjaro and the Serengeti, where the great migration takes your breath away.

Moshi charms visitors with its mountain views, while Bagamoyo whispers history through its coastal ruins and old trading posts.
Tanzania’s official languages are Swahili (Kiswahili) and English.

Swahili is the language of connection, melodic, expressive, and deeply cultural.

You’ll hear phrases like “Karibu” (welcome), “Asante” (thank you), and “Hakuna matata” (no worries) everywhere you go.
The local currency is the Tanzanian Shilling (TZS).

Cash is still king in most areas, but mobile money (especially M-Pesa) and card payments are increasingly common in cities and tourist hubs.
Tanzania operates on East Africa Time (EAT), which is UTC +3, and does not observe daylight saving time.
Tanzanian diaspora communities can be found in the United Kingdom (London, Birmingham), the United States (Minnesota, Texas, New York), and Canada (Toronto).

You’ll also find strong communities in Sweden, Oman, and the UAE, reflecting the country’s deep Indian Ocean connections.

Diaspora Tanzanians often maintain ties through family networks, Swahili churches and mosques, community events, and cultural organizations.
The best time to visit is during the dry season (June to October), perfect for safaris and beach escapes.
If you love color and celebration, visit around July or August for festivals in Zanzibar or plan for December when coastal cities come alive with music, food, and family reunions.
Tanzania’s magic is in her balance, wild and calm, grounded and graceful.

From the rhythm of Swahili music echoing through Stone Town, to the roar of lions across the Serengeti, Tanzania holds a rare kind of peace.

It’s a place that invites you to slow down, breathe, and belong.

Her people radiate warmth, her land carries history, and her culture, from Maasai beadwork to Bongo Flava beats, is unapologetically vibrant.

Tanzania doesn’t compete. She captivates.

Taste the Culture

Flavour and pure seasoning for the taste buds

Ugali na Samaki

A staple Tanzanian meal, ugali (a firm maize porridge) is served with grilled or stewed fish, vegetables, or beans. It’s hearty, simple, and loved across every region.

Zanzibar Pilau

A fragrant rice dish spiced with cloves, cinnamon, and cardamom, a nod to Zanzibar’s spice trade history. Often served during celebrations and family gatherings.

Nyama Choma

Literally “roasted meat,” this grilled beef or goat dish is Tanzania’s social glue. Served with kachumbari (fresh tomato salad) and a cold drink, it’s best enjoyed outdoors with friends.
