It is not always easy to bring something for those back home or for yourself as a gift or souvenir. So let us lend a hand and already prepare you a bit of what it could possibly become when you return from vacation from Tanzania.
We are going to share some great Tanzanian gifts that you can buy for family and friends back home.
Woodcarving
Save money and get authentic souvenirs by buying directly from the source. We will take you there (en route to your safari), while you can haggle up to 50% of the requested price. Discover an array of fascinating carvings, including masks, jewelry, figurines and more, during your trip to Tanzania.
Paintings
Get authentic African art directly to your home by buying paintings on their origins. Each piece adds a unique decorative element to your space, whether at home, in the office or elsewhere.
Made of high-quality muslin canvas, these paintings are beautiful expressions of African wildlife, flora and cultural richness. With playful artistic renderings of animals, people and landscapes, they are a true enhancement to any environment.
Each painting tells a story, reflects rich African cultures and folklore, and is characterized by bold shapes, intriguing patterns and vibrant colors. Discover these unique works of art and bring a piece of African soul into your living space.
Tanzanite
Let us guide you to the best places to buy beautiful jewelry. We refer you to reputable dealers offering authentic gemstones, including diamonds, rubies, emeralds, garnets, tourmalines and sapphires. Tanzania is known as the only global source of tanzanite, a gemstone that is a thousand times rarer than diamonds and which experts predict will be depleted within 10 years, only increasing its value.
In addition to exploring these gems, we can also take you to a small museum to learn more about Tanzania’s rich gem history.
Coffee
Discover the unique flavors of Tanzanian coffee, with the northern region offering sweet notes and the south having higher acidity and a floral or fruity profile, thanks to the volcanic soil and variable altitudes of the coffee plantations. Experience this for yourself during a coffee tour, where you can see the entire process from beans to your cup of coffee.
Tanzanian coffee is known for its distinct and lively flavor, with interesting fruit notes and an exquisite flavor profile. Give your caffeine-loving family and friends a truly special gift with Arabica coffee beans from Tanzania.
Herbs
Bring home a touch of Zanzibar with authentic spices, perfect gifts for family and friends. Discover why Zanzibar is known as the Spice Island on a tour of one of the island’s many spice farms. Here you will see how farmers grow an array of spices, including black pepper, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, vanilla and nutmeg.
Located off the coast of Tanzania, opposite Dar-es-Salaam, Zanzibar is easily accessible by ferry or plane. The island is home to some of the best sources of Tanzanian gifts, ready to be discovered during your trip.
Masai articles
Discover the vibrant culture of the Maasai with their distinctive traditional “shuka” clothing and beautiful jewelry made from intricate beadwork. This is just the beginning of what they have to offer.
