ECOTOURISM IN TANZANIA THROUGH THE MAASAI BOMAS.

This is a welcome Accapella from the native maasai when one is welcomed in the maasai boma. Tanzania took a step ahead and practices Ecotourism whereby the positive impact on the community is observed through the cultural bomas .The natives are able to present their culture(through dances and demonstration of their everyday life) and in return they are provided with money from the tourist which support their everyday actives and increase their living standards. Apart of the money goes to the community development such as staring of water projection( construction of wells), construction of village hospitals, vaccination to the live stocks(cows, sheep and goats) and also construction of the dams for the livestocks.If the visitor wants to understand and get in touch with the maasai culture this is one place which will be best for him/her.
