What you'll do

Enjoy a drive across the wilds of Lake Manyara National Park where you'll stop at the village of Mto wa Mbu. Home to around 120 Maasai tribes with their own unique language and customs, the village is a riot of colour and bustling activity. Stroll through the Maasai Market with vibrant stalls of fruit, handmade shukas and beaded jewellery. Sample traditional dishes washed down with banana beer, learn all about the the art of Makonde carving and be amazed by the leaping Maasai dances. The village has some stunning views of the Great Rift Lake and down by the lake, you'll find a gushing waterfall to swim beneath.
