The Maasai are one of the oldest and most iconic tribes in East Africa. Originally migrating from Southern Sudan with their cattle, they settled in the Great Rift Valley during the 17th and 18th centuries. Traditionally nomadic, they have preserved their distinct culture and lifestyle across northwestern Tanzania and parts of Kenya. Renowned for their bravery and resilience, the Maasai continue to live in close harmony with their land and livestock.
We offer you the rare chance to spend meaningful time with a Maasai community and gain insight into their way of life. During your visit, you’ll observe how they construct their distinctive igloo-shaped manyatas (mud huts) and build traditional livestock enclosures. Join them in everyday activities such as fetching water with donkeys, gathering firewood, or learning the art of intricate beadwork from the women of the tribe—keepers of a deeply rooted cultural tradition.
Our Maasai cultural experience goes beyond surface-level tourism. We take you off the beaten path to engage authentically with the community. For those looking to delve deeper, combining it with a safari, you can choose to spend a night—or more—immersed in Maasai life. (Overnight stays are available at an additional cost.)
