Immerse Yourself in Maasai Culture - Authentic Maasai Village Tours
Join us on a cultural odyssey with our Maasai Village Tours, where you’ll have the unique opportunity to step into the heart of Maasai traditions and experience the rich cultural heritage of one of Africa’s most iconic tribes. You’ve seen pictures of them – adorned with the brilliant red, blue and purple patterns of the shukas they wear. The men with their spears, tall and proud. The women bejeweled with bright beaded earrings and scarves. These are the some of the oldest inhabitants of East Africa, the Maasai people.
They live in small mud-thatched villages, surrounded by their cattle and smaller livestock. For hundreds of years the Masai have roamed these lands of Kenya and Tanzania, living a free, nomadic lifestyle. Their traditional lands now comprise much of Kenya’s national parks.
A highlight of your safari vacation is a visit with these Maasai people. Many of the tribes welcome visitors to their villages to view up close their culture and lifestyle.
