Half a day on foot and by vehicle through the safari capital of Tanzania. Central market, the Maasai craft market, the Natural History Museum, a tanzanite showroom and the clock tower that marks the midpoint between Cairo and Cape Town.
Start at the central market among spice sellers, tailors and produce traders, then the Maasai craft market. Stop at the clock tower for the story of its colonial-era placement.
Visit the Natural History Museum in the old German boma, then a certified tanzanite showroom to see how the stone is graded. No pressure to buy.
Optional local lunch at a Tanzanian restaurant, then return to your hotel by mid afternoon.
