Overview

You might have had numerous encounters with the Maasai people while on safaris but be assured that these might not be the authentic Maasai culture experience. Even if they were the real Maasais, they might have been putting up a show for you as they receive tourists daily.
In this tour, you get to interact with the authentic Maasai's day-to-day life far away from the safaris and the National parks.
This becomes an experience more than a tour as you do the things maasais do daily. You get to appreciate your conventional comfortable life more. From cooking ugali in a manyatta, beadwork, lighting a fire traditionally using sticks and cow dung, milking a goat, dancing, singing and jumping with the Maasai people, you get to do them all.

It was incredible to visit the Masaai tribe - they were very welcoming, kind, and hospitable! Dennis was a great guide and provided many fascinating insights. It was a very beautiful experience that I'm grateful for.

This was such a fun, unique experience that we truly enjoyed. Dennis is a great guide and it's good to know that part of the ticket cost supports the villagers in sustainable ways. We went with a toddler and Dennis and everyone were very accommodating. We learned to milk a goat, cook ugali, start a fire and make beaded jewelry. Highly reccomend!

Spending a day with the Maasai village people was a profound and enriching experience that offered a deep dive into their vibrant culture and way of life. From learning the intricate art of beading, where each colorful bead tells a story of tradition and heritage, to mastering the culinary secrets of Maasai cuisine through hands-on cooking lessons, every moment was filled with discovery and connection. Engaging in the timeless practice of herding alongside Maasai warriors, I gained a newfound appreciation for their intimate relationship with the land and animals. And when the rhythmic beats of Maasai dance filled the air, I couldn't help but join in, feeling the pulse of centuries-old traditions coursing through my veins. This immersive day left me humbled, inspired, and deeply grateful for the opportunity to walk in the footsteps of the Maasai people, whose resilience, wisdom, and hospitality touched my heart in ways I'll never forget.

It was definitely an EXPERIENCE! I was a little skeptical at first about the activities ( I'm a New Yorker) but the very intentional activities allowed us to get a real understanding of Maasai daily life. Dennis and Ronnie are funny, personable, kind and provided a well organized tour.
