In Dar es Salaam, the Tinga Tinga Arts Cooperative Society is a must-visit destination for art enthusiasts. It's famous for its colourful Tinga Tinga paintings, which showcase Tanzania's rich artistic heritage. People come here to see artists at work and buy authentic Tinga Tinga artwork as souvenirs.
Tingatinga paintings are known for their vibrant colours, painted on surfaces like masonite. Whether on canvas, wood, or textured paper, they have a distinct feel. These artworks typically showcase Tanzania's plants and animals and are easy to carry, making them popular souvenirs for the past century. For the best experience, it's recommended to visit on weekdays when artists are actively working, allowing for a lively atmosphere and the chance to interact with them directly.
