Highlights

Shanga & Shanga Foundation - Arusha Shanga River House Lunch Crafts Store Day Tour includes Shanga’s art workshop areas where you get to meet some of the artisans behind the glassware, beads, paintings, and fabrics for sale in the store.
As you wind your way through Shanga, you will marvel at beautiful decor like walls of recycled wine bottles that magnified the warm light and make a lovely noise when gently moved.
Shanga has people making beaded jewelry and cloth from recycled materials. They have stuffed elephants made from men’s’ shirts. You will be tempted to buy stuff for your family.
There is so much talent, pride, and focus in the artists at Shanga, and it is fun to watch them work.
All done by 42 disabled Tanzanian tribes who never had a chance to work before. After the tour you will visit River House restaurant on its grounds, which offers delicious lunches and coffees in a serene and breathtaking environment.
It was well worth the trip and an enchanting place to spend the day.
