Maasai Village Experience Day Tour

Overview

Available languages

English

Mobile ticket

You might have had numerous encounters with the Maasai people while on safaris but most of the time, that is staged authenticity where they put up a show for you as they receive tourists on hourly basis. An authentic experience of any tribe in Kenya cannot be found close to tourist routes.

This village is exclusive for Happy Tribe only and at the end of the day we leave you to judge the authenticity of this experience.

This becomes more of an experience than a tour as you participate in in what Maasais do daily. From cooking ugali in a manyatta, beadwork, lighting a fire traditionally, milking a goat, dancing, singing and jumping with the Maasai people, you get to do them all.

While on this tour, feel free to investigate and ask regarding the exploitation of such vulnerable poor people by tour companies. We might be the only company that pays the maasais that turn up individually separating even a mans money from his wife. Payment is done via Mpesa to everyone present.

Amazing Masai Experience!

Our tour guide, Dennis, was so informative about the Masai people, in general, as well as the village we visited. The tribe welcomed us into their village by dressing us in their traditional garb. The men herded goats into a pen where we all got to milk them. The women learned some beading techniques and prepared ugali, and we all got a chance to eat some. We also learned some of the chants and dances, which was so much fun! Also visited a livestock market and school in the area. So informational! Thank you, Dennis, for a wonderful experience!!
An enjoyable day with the friendly Maasai

This was a great little adventure outside of Nairobi. I felt completely safe as a solo female, and in fact another solo female joined me in this trip. We had a lovely experience and would recommend if you want to do something cultural.

This was a great experience and seemed very real and authentic. The Maasai people we met were happy to greet us and welcomed us into their community. We experienced a traditional setting and a way of life that is completely different from anywhere else yet with some real things in common. Making beads, herding goats, milking them and cooking traditional food on a fire where all interesting and the dancing and singing at the end was the highlight Of definitely recommend this but it is a long drive - about 3 hrs each way for a 1-2 hr visit plus it’s near the Tanzania border and not near the Rift Valley as described
Life changing experience

It was an absolute life changing event. The tour guide was phenomenal. Very friendly, patient, informative and fun. The villagers welcomed us like family. They taught us how they herd sheep, make jewlery, cook traditional African food and how to start a fire with sticks. Then we sang and danced together. It was very emotional when we left there. I really loved the experience. I 100%recommend this if you are in the area. You won't regret it.
