Their customized tours offer interactive encounters with the Maasai, who are pastoral herders, the Hadzabe Bushmen, a tribe of hunters/gatherers, and the Datoga, whose roots are agricultural. Guests can participate in simple daily activities that are also rich in cultural significance. These include collecting sticks and gathering wood for the dinner campfire, collecting honey while foraging in the bush, helping to carry water from nearby water sources and with food preparation, weaving clothes from animal skins, and even hunting for game in the bush with the Hadzabe Bushmen using bows and arrows. Other options include having private meetings with tribal chiefs and leaders who will explain their ancient belief systems, and talk about the problems they are facing that threaten their physical and cultural survival. High and Low Impact Adventure Activities Travelers who enjoy moderate to challenging physical activities can also add a variety of low or high impact recreational activities to their safari itinerary. High Impact options include: mountain climbing on Mt. Kilimanjaro and/or Mt Meru; hiking into the ancient, inactive volcanic craters in the Ngorongoro Highlands; and a 3-night Bush Hiketo Lake Natron in the Rift Valley. Walking safaris, biking, canoeing and visiting rural African markets in the Lake Manyara and culturally rich Mto Wa Mbu area are among the variety of more moderate adventure activities that can be included in customized safari itineraries. “Survival of the wildlife as well as respect for the indigenous people who call these regions their home are a very important part of our customized itineraries,” ZAS is headquartered in Arusha, Tanzania, where safari operations are overseen by the company’s co-founder and owner, Lilian Maximillian.
