The Tinga tinga art is very unique, each piece tells a whole story of the wilderness life of Africa in a very bright and colorful way , I love it

The artwork is beautiful and very skilfully done. The TingaTinga paintings had begun in the early 1970s and were unique folk art. They still are, fifty years later. I remember their early years with g... See more

An Excellent Shopping Experience

The customer service is fantastic (they responded quickly to every question), and the painting is even nicer than I had hoped based on the image on the computer screen. I worried about buying art online, but highly recommend TingaTinga to anyone interested in beautiful art for their home!

Last time in Tanzania (2018) I learned about Tinga Tinga art. By then, did not buy any painting, though I really love this kind of art. I was so happy to discover TingaTinga African art and finally took the chance to buy 2 paintings. All went perfect: easy and quick communication and quick painting and delivery. Just perfect. Would recommend this to everyone who likes Tinga tinga art :)

Great TingaTinga pictures and service

I have a number of Tinga Tinga art works collected while in East Africa in the 80's. I wanted a new one for a present and was amazed at how easy it was to use the website to order a new picture. Responses to my enquiries were very prompt and I found the whole process incredibly easy and efficient. The picture was delivered safely and is exactly what I wanted.

Loved the art

Loved the art at this co-operative society. Large variety of styles and size of paintings. Very reasonable prices, even pre-bargaining.

A helpful English speaking representative guided me around the place. While all the art is mostly canvas mounted on frames, he told me they could take it off the frames, so it could fit easily inside a suitcase.

Unfortunately, they only accept cash and I wasn't carrying any as I had just landed in Tanzania and I didn't have the opportunity to return - but will definitely go back on my next trip to Dar Es Salaam.

I really like Tinga Tinga African Art.

I really like Tinga Tinga African Art.. I've googled tinga tinga, finally I found this site where I bought arts. There are many tingatinga arts and I bought 6 pieces with discount. It takes about 1month to get them from order. They packed very well so the paintings are safely arrived. It's amazing to get tinga tinga painting from Tanzania. I'm really happy with them. Thank you so much. I sent paintings to make frames to another shop as soon I got them in Korea. Now there is another waiting for me to get whole framed paintings in Korea. Thank you ~

This was an entirely satisfying experience. There was a continuous communication with the team in Tanzania. They helped instantly when the package got stuck at customs in Hannover (which happens routinely). They were also extremely friendly and sent me a beautiful little gift to excuse for a time delay. The picture took a little longer than usual thanks to lots of orders before Christmas. The picture arrived here inn perfect shape. Thank you very much!
