At Kilimanjaro Mountain Resort, the small but worthwhile outdoor Chagga Live Museum illustrates traditional Chagga society with a range of tools, living spaces and architecture. The wandering goats give it a certain authenticity. If you're climbing Kilimanjaro with a Chagga guide, it's a fascinating insight into local life.
