African diasporas in Tanzania have experienced cultural and religious syncretism as a result of historical migrations and colonial interactions. A survey methodology was employed to gather data from participants across different ethnic groups and religious backgrounds in Tanzania. The findings indicate that approximately 45% of respondents reported engaging in syncretic practices such as combining elements of indigenous beliefs with Christianity or Islam, reflecting a significant cultural adaptation within the diaspora communities. This research underscores the dynamic nature of religious and cultural identities among African diasporas in Tanzania, highlighting the importance of understanding these adaptations for comprehensive cultural studies. Further ethnographic research is recommended to explore the long-term impacts of syncretism on community cohesion and identity formation within Tanzanian diaspora settings.
