Makumbusho/ Village Museum in Kilindoni

Very good place for fresh Msosi from the farm

Many tourists visit here,its a big place with traditional house..there is traditional music and dance. And culture things

Its a nice place. And the foods are amazing

This place is opposite tigo headquarters. Has nice food ample parking. It is also inside a museum thus one is able to see some traditional houses as they used to look like before independence.

A PLACE YOU MUST VISIT IN DAR ES SALAAM!!Its free to entry, even for foreigners, because theres no guy to charge your entrance fee. Its worthwhile to visit if youre 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. Theyre really warm and theyll invite you to dance & take photos with them. Dont be hesitate to join them. Im sure it will be a part of unforgettable memories during your Tanzanias trip.

Good on culture and heritageBig monument and has a rich history of the Tanzanian culture and way of lifeIts also kid friendly Soo children get to learn more . Really recommend

A city centre... decorated with series of phone accessories shops.

Great place to visit, enjoy and learn African culture, located in a quiet and secured place. You wont regret to be here, welcome.

Beautiful place with many old stories. The guide was OK.

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 youre picked to dance, well worth the fun youll have, whether watching or participating!

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

The most handcraft man made and national village museum in dar es salaam support the locals around for arts and entertainment

Good and nice environment it has the village filling when you there.

Interesting place to see how pre-colonial tribes of Tanzania lived.also its in a place with not a lot of tourist attractions so its a nice stop.

It’s an okay place to learn about traditions of some of the Tanzanian tribes their houses and lifestyle and watch a local dance which you can donate to . It’s child friendly

Amazing.. use local guideMust seeHave food from the hotel there itself

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.

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.

Beautifully village where can enjoy and learn a lot of stuffs about Tanzania culture from different Tanzanian Tribes

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.

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.

Well, right as you walk in the place, to your left a huge curio bazzar, welcomes you, from there its a busy bustling place, with restaurants and the like. Service mat be slow, but the grilled goat was worth the wait.Cheers!!

Not as interesting as I anticipated. Not much of a museum! And why paying about 12500tzs or more to get in without a guard?.The only thing I loved about the place was that the vendors selling things outside are quite cheap and affordable? Unlike Zanzibar Stone town

Nice Tanzanian cuisine, in the open.

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

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..

Seeing all the different styled huts along with the tribes habits and lifestyles was really neat. As well as watching the tribal danceBring 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 Id 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 .

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!

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!

Its a nice experience about everything you need to know about about the villages and how they work. I did it without the guide as I was moving through quickly because of the temperature. I would recommend visiting the museum with a guide. But its not needed if you just want an idea. I never got forced in any upselling like mentioned below. I watched the traditional dance, its a must seen. Its a psychedelic rythm from the south part.

Were 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. Its a cute village setup they have, you get to see how the local Tanzanians 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.

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

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

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.

Small place with some old houses, nothing match to see, if you are interesting on the area history, this place may be good for you as there is a detailed written near each house

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.

VERY COOL AND HISTORIC PLACE, JUST GET EXPERIENCE ON HOW ALL TANZANIAN TRIBES WERE BUILD AND LIVED

Definitely worth the visit while in Dar. Can spend as much or little time as you want since its 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.

Cool Place, good maintained old houses museum, nice cultural dance.

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 👍

Not exotic or exciting. Casual walk around in a village ambience just 20 mins from town

A place where you can see & acknowledge African tribes and culture in terms of house styles. As we all know Tanzania as more than 120 ethnic tribes, if youre in dar es salaam or anywhere else near it fancy visiting the village museum

Real nice, shows Tanzanian houses through time...

So cultural, educative and back-orient knowledge to current and future generation.Finding all cultural houses of all ethnic and indigenous tribes of Tanzania

Its a good place to learn about various Tanzania tribes and their way of living.Cultural dance is available for visitors you can watch and also participate in dancing.

A nice Museum, but more funds should be invested to make it more of a better Museum, aside from that....its a nice Museum showcasing different traditional Tanzanian houses.

We were very disappointed the place has been neglected for years with no refurbishment taking place. The government has really ignored this place of historical significance. The environment around it, the pub and restaurant are dead. They used to serve good traditional Tanzanian food and would have traditional shows like dancing and drumming at the pub in the evening time. But it was not there anymore, place was in bits. Broken things. No life. So sad. However, the village museum houses are still in good condition and a tour guide is there. We were also entertained under a tree by a local group by a few traditional dances.

A step back in time to see how people used to live. You can pay to traditional Lizombe dancing. Lovely handmade crafts available.
