- <p>Creation myths play a significant role in understanding cultural identity and worldview across Africa. Tanzania is home to diverse ethnic groups each with unique creation narratives. A qualitative comparative analysis of oral traditions collected through interviews and archival research was conducted across five major ethnic groups in Tanzania. Creation myths in Tanzania often revolve around natural phenomena such as the formation of mountains or rivers. For example, the Maasai myth includes a creation story involving fire and water. The study reveals that while there are universal themes, each culture's creation narrative reflects local environmental and social conditions. Further research should include more diverse cultural groups and analyse how these myths influence contemporary Tanzanian society.</p>
