A PLACE YOU MUST VISIT IN DAR ES SALAAM!! It's free to entry, even for foreigners, because there's no guy to charge your entrance fee. It's worthwhile to visit if you're a tourist, in here you can know traditional Tanzanian life & houses without going to countryside. And you can also watch some local people dancing and singing sometimes. They're really warm and they'll invite you to dance & take photos with them. Don't be hesitate to join them. I'm sure it will be a part of unforgettable memories during your Tanzania's trip.

Great place to see how various tribes used to build houses and understand their lifestyle. Must visit if you are in Dar Es Salaam

They charge 12000 Tanzanian shillings (about $5-$6) entry fee. I am glad I came! After I registered, there was no guide available at the time, so I started off solo and decided to finish off solo (a guide offered!). They had leaflets where you could read what you were looking at (some were not translated to English. Just Swahili) you could enter the houses. Take pictures and take videos. There is a performance if you are interested and a place to buy souvenirs. There is also a chill restaurant on site to rest before planning the rest of your day! All in all I had a good experience!! No need to buy tickets ahead of time. There is no wait to get in and I recommend this for a cultural experience as it tells you about the some of the different tribes in the country, how they live, what they farm/grow and what kind of houses they live in!

A must visit on your arrival to Tanzania and Dar es Salaam to better understand and appreciate Tanzanian people and the different tribes. For tourist the cost is 12,000 TZS about $5 and for locals 2,500 = $1.50. We brought our own guide and choose to pay for his entry. We opted to do a self tour but you can pay for a guided tour. It is best to have a local to give you more insight but each exhibition has a sign in English. This place is an outdoor museum divided in different areas that portray real size buildings of homes and other buildings you’d find in the different villages around Tanzania. You can see the difference in structures depending on the geographical location of that tribe or the influence that the religion has in the buildings and family composition. Truly a place that has lots to teach. You can go inside the homes and and it’s very hands on. There is also an area where dancers show typical music and dances for a tip.

Beautiful, cultural cantre for Tanzanian tribes. Has Historical houses related to tribe origin. It also have cultural things sold. You can also conduct a meeting in the open space or on the shades area. It is very suitable if you need a fresh air meeting especially during this covid era.

Very interesting

Had a great time with my kids. Interesting to see how different tribes have different home although it as was just a small sample as there are more than 120 tribes in Tanzania. The small market before the museum was a lot of fun

We're visiting from Canada! Wow what an extraordinary experience my husband and I had at the Village museum! We paid extra for the tour guide which was very beneficial. Our tour guide shared an immense history knowledge on the Tanzanian culture. It's a cute village setup they have, you get to see how the local Tanzanian's used to live before the civilization . We paid extra for the local dance by the awesome group, which was pretty cool! They did an epic job with the setup of the village.

Good place to visit to get historical informations.

Awesome place! Not crowded at all, we were the only 2 people there, we discovered how many tribes live in Africa and what types of houses they have, a bit of their culture and agriculture. After that we watched a marvelous traditional African dancing. And even danced with the guys. Just great!

Excellent museum of the various housing designs in the African village. Also has great array of various trees and plants with descriptions of their purposes. The live show towards the back was very entertaining and the is a local artist Brana Mayige with very unique pieces. Brake Point restaurant is right next door on the same grounds. Definitely a must visit while in Makumbusho.

Beautiful place with rich history on Tanzanian history. Esp loved dancing with the local women who were so kind and welcoming

I got a personal music performance that brought me to tears! Asante sana! 🙃

Good location to learn about Tanzanian culture and village way of living. There are souvenirs you can buy as mementos, you can get to see traditional dances from various tribes, and take photos.

Great place to bring kids and enjoy the traditional dancing show.

If you want a local experience, need to go there. Just amazing

I would recommend it for the first time in Tanzania it was very fun and interesting to learn about different tribes and how they live there there was also a very nice show in the museum which was very interesting and nice i would recommend to go overall experience was 10/10

Such a nice place for a cultural experience. My guide Hesbon did a good job explaining the different tribes,their way of life and custom practices. Tanzania has about 120 tribes and the huts are a representation of the tribes. You also can enjoy cultural dance when done with the house tours. Check entrance fees in the photos. You pay an extra guide fee if you want a guide,Tsh 10,000 and if you want to watch the cultural dances,the minimum is Tsh 10,000

Really nice multitribal villages tour that is set up well to represent where in Tanzania they are located...get a guide for 3000 Tanzanian shillings. Well worth it. The entrance fees paid by credit card separately than the guide. Bring Tanzanian money as CC is a pain. But the artists and vendors take cash and were willing to take US$. Just know your conversions...5000 Tanzanian is about $2 US$. Or make their day and hand them $5. Visit the dancing group and they ask for a few thousand TS...throw a $20 in the basket, it will make their day, and if you're picked to dance, we'll worth the fun you'll have, whether watching or participating!

It is very good place to visit if you want to know Tanzania traditions and culture. You can also shop for variety of handcrafted products and apparel products.

It's kind of like an open-air museum in Germany. The typical local huts are set up from every corner in Tanzania and give a good impression of the local way of life. Entrance costs approx. 12k/person and is to be paid by card. The usual souvenir shops are located directly at the entrance on the left. There is a restaurant to the right behind the parking lot, but I can't say anything about it. There are also typical dance performances on offer... but I didn't see any of that due to the lack of hordes of tourists.

(Translated by Google) Exceptional experience, especially if you rely on the very knowledgeable museum guides who are ready to answer all your questions. In the end you can even see a traditional musical show ... simply fantastic. (Original) Esperienza eccezzionale , specialmente se vi affidate alle guide del museo molto preparate e pronte a rispondere a tutte le vostre curiosità. Alla fine si può anche vedere uno spettacolo musicale tradizionale... semplicemente fantastico.

It looks simple. But with a guide, and the stories behind every home in the village and the tribes, it gets very interesting. Some stories are thrilling, some sad, and some funny, but all are true and great!

A very nice and very interesting authentic African village featuring samples of traditional native African houses of several tribes. You should definitely do the tour with a guide to understand why the houses were built in certain ways and what's the purpose of each. You should also book the dance show at the end. You'll get a chance to wear some parts of their traditional clothing and join the dance at the end, which was absolutely fun! Here's the price list (all are the foreigners rates as the rates are cheaper for Tanzanian citizens): Entry fees: 12,000 TZS for adults and 6,000 TZS for children. Tour guide: 30,000 TZS flat fee (not including the tip out of your courtesy at the end). Dance show: 10,000 TZS per adult and 5,000 TZS per child (not including the tip that you'd put in the basket that one of the dancers would put in front of you from the beginning of the show). Our tour guide, Isbon, was very kind. My parents can't stand for long, so he carried two plastic chairs with him to every spot we stood at so they could sit and listen. There's a nice bazaar next to the reception that sells local crafts. There's a restroom but it isn't too clean or comfortable (no toilet seats, but rather floor mounted seats).

Lovely music and dancing got my feet and body tapping, nature trail and some gorgeous looking trees. The simulated village was a nice reminder of the life i lost and lunch was good too..

Nice

Traditional huts from different areas in Tanzania. The payment at the entrance is a 5 minutes process, with lots of required data... The traders inside will try, as usual, to rip you off, so bargain as much as possible.

Very cool and quite place where one can learn alot about Tanzanian culture.

The tourist attraction in Dar es Salaam city where foreigners can learn and see the building styles, construction materials for the local houses of different tribes. The best thing about Village museum lies on the fact that the tourist will be able to learn a see over 100 houses types for almost all the tribes. One of the best place to visit if you are in Dar es Salaam.

One among the Tanzanian inhouse Cultural learning center

Good place to be. A lotta history about different tribes in East Africa especially Tanzanian tradition.

A place where you'll learn about Tanzania's rich history and culture. The Village Museum hosts Tanzanian tribes' culturally built houses from which you'll come to understand well how the people of Tanzania lived before modern housings.

Beautiful place to see traditional houses and dances

Superb.. must see

Entry ticket is 12000 TSH for foreigners

Entrance free details. It's okay one time watch. Best to go with friends or family number's. If you go single you can't enjoy it.

Venturing into uncharted culinary territory, I had the privilege of savoring the exquisite flavors of antelope meat, and the experience was truly exceptional. This review is a tribute to the captivating journey my taste buds embarked upon during this remarkable dining escapade

An experience for the knowing Tanzanians ways of living and its inheritance

It's worth it, a piece of history and tribal architecture. And next to it there is a good pub and grilled fish...

There are lots of historical and cultural memories concerning the Tanzania cultures that are kept there. It's a nice place to visit when you're in Dar es salaam.

Great way to get to know Tanzania tribal way of life, types of traditional houses and and get a flavor of traditional dance. You can guide yourself throughout the museum, but we decided to get a guide and it definitely was a better way to explore the museum. He shared with us much more information than you would read on signs. Me. Felix is a great guide.

This is first place we visited.. As photos in beginning you have to pay nothing if you would like to see the items which they sell.. But if you like to go more to see traditional things you have to pay.. I recommend it it was nice day 👍

There are different historical and cultural about Tanzanian tribes

The village huts and the dancers! Great!

A lot of the sites are under construction but it was still a beautiful place

Cultural heritage place

Beautiful Dar es Salaam City is as like other Big Cities with modern facilities. To know about rural village life style, dwelling etc, one has to either visit villages or travel extensively, mixing with local people and learning about the history of the place and the people. All that is not fully possible in a short budget tours. At this juncture, visiting museums will give lots of insight into these aspects. Here is one such beautiful museum in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, amidst the busy city life. It is the Kijiji cha Makumbusho, or Village Museum, established in 1967. It is an open-air ethnographical museum located in the outskirts of Dar es Salaam, on the road to Mwenge and Bagamoyo. It is simply marvelous. The Village Museum demonstrates the traditional cultures of Tanzania. Visiting the village museum is like visiting the whole of Tanzania and its rich culture, history and ethnicity. The museum displays traditional huts of about 16 different Tanzanian ethnic groups. It altogether a very beautiful experience. This Museum is 10km north of Dar es Salaam City Centre. Come visit and feel Tanzania to the heart. Good luck.

(Translated by Google) It is a good place because you will find out a lot about the history of Tanzanians, their tribes and the things they used to do, for example, their food and dances are endless and you do not wish to go and visit you.

Excellent place for best history of Tanzania

Good to have a guide here

Definitely worth the visit while in Dar. Can spend as much or little time as you want since it's a self-guided tour. In front of each house there are great descriptions/history. Go on a Saturday so you can see the dancers! There is also a small artisan market set up at the entrance where you can purchase souvenirs.

Good place

(Translated by Google) The best place to study archeology is to explain the history of each tribe and how their houses were built. It is a wonderful place to remember our Tanzanian culture. (Original) Sehemu nzuri sananya kujifunza mambo ya kale, pana elezea historia ya kila kabila pamoja na namna nyumba zao zilivyojengwa. Ni sehemu nzuri sana ya kukumbuka utamaduni wetu wa Tanzania.

Nice place to know about traditional houses all over Tanzania and some of them used also in other countries and some show of african singing and dance need one hour or 90 minutes maximum Don't forget credit card to pay for foringerrs

Nice place

A place where you can get all the history of our country in one place. From Cultural to Independence history...everything in one basket.

We did meetings here

(Translated by Google) Very interesting village / museum to know the different ethnic groups that inhabit or have populated Tanzania (Original) Village/musée très intéressant pour connaître les différentes ethnies qui peuplent ou ont peuplé la Tanzanie

Nothing really much worth visiting

It needs more attraction to it...more tribal houses to be added and the ones already there should be properly maintained.

The only Museum in town,You will also get to learn different Tribe culture which found in the Country. Live Traditional Group Dance made me happy the most.

Good place to spend one hour or two.

Very interesting place to study an African mode of life in traditional way

It is most of wonderful village that any one cannot regret when she or he visits on it

It is a quiet place you could have meetings in

Many styles of Tanzania tribes architecture can be seen in Makumbusho , The Sukuma style, Yao, Zaramo and many small homes with unique roofs , great entertainment , food and drinks is among the things you will find here

The place is very historical and that makes it so adventures. I was able to learn several things about the Tanzanian culture. It was my first time in Tanzania 4yrs ago and I had a wonderful time. The entrance fee is not that much very affordable. Apart from that you have tour guides who are very informative and traditional dancers who are very entertaining. A great place to be.

Best place to remind our cultural houses and cultural way of life. Don’t hesitate please visit to learn more about Tanzania culture.

The place is very exceptional, friendly staffs, village like environment! It is so nice!

Authentic!

(Translated by Google) I really liked the museum (more precisely, this is an open square with buildings of dwellings of different tribes living in Tanzania), you can go inside, touch everything. A group of Africans play national instruments, and girls dance and sing national songs, it looks very cool. I was dressed up and taught to dance. (Original) Музей (точнее, это открытая площадь с постройками жилищ разных племен, живущих в Танзании) очень понравился, можно зайти внутрь, все потрогать. Группа африканцев играет на национальных инструментах, и девушки танцуют и поют национальные песни, смотрится очень круто. Меня нарядили и учили танцевать.

Had a good time especially dancing with the traditional dancers.

It is a cool place, im excited to see alot of traditional houses kept for current and future generation memories..

Awesome place. Shows history of the different way of living if different tribes around Tanzania and they are also expanding to include other Bantu tribes. PS: kindly carry with you some money to pay as an entry fee & don’t forget to tip the dancers in the village😉

Seeing all the different styled huts along with the tribes habits and lifestyles was really neat. As well as watching the tribal dance Bring cash because they may not take CC or Mpesa even though they have a sign saying they do. 12000 entry plus 10000 to see the tribal dance, plus they want a tip. Change I'd like to see- I would like to be able to give the full 10000 directly to the tribal dance people. Then no tip is needed unless you want to take photos with them etc .

Beautiful examples of traditional houses. As a highlight I would mention a local artisan named Peter who has done wonders with clay and banana leaf. Very refreshing experience on a hot day in Dar.

Nice Tanzanian cuisine, in the open.

This is the one stop centre in Dar es Salaam where you can experience different cultures in Tanzania. Tanzania has more that 120 tribes with different cultures and all those tribes united together with Swahili as a National language. Attached are Kinga tribe from Makete region performing at their 3 days festival at village Museum in Dar es salaam.

Some real cool huts and village stuff, recommend

Makete traditional house here at Dar es Salaam

Nice place to view some Tanzanian Traditions aspects

Very nice, cool Musicans...

Excellent, well worth the trip to see this. Lots of different hut designs from around the villages and tribes of Tanzania. The dance troupe will perform for about 5k per adult, you can choose to join in the dancing! A small gift area in the car park sells art, carving, clothing and other general niknaks.

It showing the village culture and instruments used by the villagers. Also has small exhibition of hand made stuff, art paintings. One can also enjoy the restaurant.

They are already building homes and village new… it hasnt finished yet… not necessary to visit…
