Tribal Habitation
Tanzania has a long history of human habitation – some of the earliest hominoid fossils in the world were discovered in Olduvai Gorge and show records of hominoid habitation in the region going back at least 3 million years. It is thought that early hunter-gatherer communities inhabited the northern highlands as far back as 10,000 years ago and remained largely isolated until the arrival of Cushitic-speaking tribes from the north, who brought basic agricultural technologies to the area between 3,000 and 5,000 years ago.
More recent migrations of Bantu-speaking tribes from western Africa began around 1000 BC, and with their assimilation came advances in iron and steel production. Ancestors of the Masaai arrived more recently, beginning their migration around the 15th century and continuing to arrive from the area around southern Sudan for another three hundred years. Battles over grazing and agricultural land began as ethnic groups consolidated and appropriated loose borders and tribal regions.

Ravi Chana told us:
My Family of two adults & two Children (aged 15 and 10) thoroughly enjoyed our safari experience booked via Bobby Tours and Safaris in August 2010. The company were most helpful with making arrangements to suit our needs and to accomodate what we wanted within the short space of time we had. They were able to advise and arrange a 4 day safari taking in Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Due to late booking on our part the Lodges were not available so we opted for a basic camping trip (which I would thoroughly recommend, as long as you do not mind basic wash facilities). Despite not having any camping experience, or equipment, we really enjoyed the camping experience. Bobby tours had organised all the equipment for us within the price, so we had no worries about carrying our own equipment. The tour company provided us with a car, driver (Umari) and a cook (Macho). Umari was knowledgeable about the local areas, national parks and wildlife, and was very accomodating whenever we needed anything. Macho was great with providing us with Breakfast, Lunch, afternoon tea and Dinner (we even requested him to make us the local staple food of \'Ugali\' which he duely made). All in all this was a great family safari experience, and one which we would recommend to any family that is looking to have fun and enjoy three of the most beautiful places on earth. We would also recommend the use of Booby Tours & safaris. If you need to talk to this company give Jackson Adams or Kassim a call. We found they were able to answer any questions and arrange local hotels and flights too.

I used Bobby Tours last fall for a trip to Tanzania, and found them very accommodating and easy to work with. They are a mid-range company, but will work with you to arrange the type of trip and the accommodations you want. I stayed at all tented camps during two weeks in Northern Tanzania, with the exception of Ngorongoro, and did single supplements everywhere. I was very happy with all aspects of the trip, and while I would not call it cheap by any means, it certainly was not as expensive as most of the tours that are regularly discussed on this forum. They were recommended to me by Great Lakes Safaris, that I used the previous year for my Uganda,gorilla trek.
