Researching Cultural Tourism in Tanzania

a trip by Melissa Stevens
From: October 2nd 2012
Until: ongoing

I am in Tanzania for 10 months conducting research for my PhD in Cultural Anthropology. I'm the resident Mzungu in the mostly Maasai village of Longido, which is about 1.5 hrs north of Arusha. This blog is about my experiences as a traveler in Tanzania and as a researcher trying to understand how the Maasai feel about cultural tourism in their village. Read on if you're interested in Tanzania, the Maasai, cultural tourism, ethnographic research, or me.
