All guests staying Tarangire Treetops receive a hand beaded bracelet on departure from Maasai ladies living in a nearby Maasai boma. Should they wish, they can also book a visit to this village to experience local life. As an extension to this partnership Shanga invited some of the ladies to the workshop in Arusha to learn new skills that they can in turn impart to other ladies in the boma. The training went so well that there are plans to extend the programme by sending a Shanga representative to the Boma to teach more ladies enhanced skills that will help them secure a livelihood.
