Strange, wild, unusual, but fascinating, impressive, addictive...It is very difficult for a European to imagine wild tribes that live in thatched houses, dance strange dances, and make wooden drums. It's like another world. It's hard to imagine, but you can see it all. The Sukuma peoples are so proud of their culture that they have even founded a museum available for everyone.

The contact with unusual traditions, beliefs, rituals, and a new culture is impressive. This is not even a museum, but rather an interactive platform where tribal elders tell, first of all, young people about customs and crafts.

The Sukuma is one of the largest and most widespread ethnic groups in Tanzania. Although someone leads a completely modern life with gadgets, and someone still lives in the forest, all the representatives of the ethnic group respect and keep up the traditions. A museum was founded in Mwanza after the country had gained independence from Britain. It is dedicated to the history of the ethnic group, its customs, and cultural objects.

The chiefs are probably the most interesting people in the tribes. They seem to exist, but at the same time, they seem to be not on this earth. They are somewhere higher, where energy and knowledge are. A separate exhibition of the Sukuma Museum is dedicated to the lives of these sages. You can see and even touch the shield and spear of one of the tribal leaders. Perhaps these attributes will share some of their master's power. Do you want to get more energy and wisdom? Then sit on the chief's chair. Make sure you don't accidentally cause rain.

The Sukuma Museum is more than just a museum with century-old exhibits on shelves. This is a true reflection of the life of the people. You can look at wooden crafts and see how they are made. And then, go to visit one of the representatives of the ethnic group, and see the conditions in which they live.
