It is known historically that the camels in Tanzania were brought by several Somali descendants in the early 1990s, and they started with 20 camels. These Somalis entered the Tanzania camel market to provide the visitors or the people of Tanzania with a camel riding safari experience. However, as time elapsed, it was realized that it was turning out to be a great business and the government started taxing them. This forced the Somalis to abandon the business and leave the country, leaving the camels behind. Later, the government decided to incorporate the camels into the poverty eradication programs, and as I take it right now, there are more than 400 camels that are found within Tanzania. These camels belong to different people, and they are mostly owned by the Masai. Once the camels give birth, the offspring are given to the other families for them to have a share until they also give birth. The cycle continues like this. All of this is aimed at reducing poverty among the population and helping solve the problem of mulligans, which are found within the community.
Camels in Tanzania are not only used for tourism and leisure purposes, but they have become the source of transport for the people, and they also play an important role in milk production since their milk is highly nutritious, helping to reduce the number of Muslims in the local communities.
