Food culture
Coastal Swahili cuisine — coconut, cardamom, tamarind, fresh-line fish. Inland: nyama choma (grilled meat), ugali, sukuma wiki. Ask for a private chef night in Zanzibar — it's worth every shilling.
Traditions
Maasai pastoralism in the north, Hadzabe hunter-gatherer life at Lake Eyasi, Swahili and Omani heritage on the coast. Visits should always be arranged through respectful local partners — never as spectacle.
