The Chagga
The Chagga people are the third largest ethnic group in Tanzania and traditionally live in the fertile foothills of Kilimanjaro. They are one of a number of tribes that have their origins in the Central and West African Bantu culture.
The Chagga have a long history of contact with European missionaries and other settlers, which has resulted in them having greater access to schooling and thus higher levels of formal education compared to other groups in Tanzania. The Chagga are known as smart business people and are often able to gain positions of influence in Tanzanian society.
The Maasai
A semi-nomadic Nilotic group believed to have originated in Egypt, the Maasai are predominantly pastoralists but practice small-scale farming in some places. They are one of the youngest ethnic groups in Tanzania, having followed the Nile River through Kenya before reaching Tanzania 300 years ago. adumu jump massaging
The Maasai’s identity and lifestyle is deeply rooted in the ownership, breeding and use of livestock. The status of an individual Maasai and their family is closely related to the number of cattle they own – in fact, a Maasai without livestock is no longer considered a Maasai within the community.
The Hadzabe
The Hadzabe live in the area around the Lake Eyasi Basin. They are a unique ethnic group in Tanzania. Apart from the Sandawe and Akie (both groups very close to the Hadzabe who are believed to be a branch of the original Hadzabe tribe) they are the only true hunter-gatherer groups remaining in Tanzania and one of the few remaining in this area. region of the world.
