Duration:
1 days
Description
Immerse yourself in an authentic Maasai culture as you visit a traditional village. Visit a Masai village and grab the opportunity to learn about traditional life firsthand.
You'll be picked up at your hotel in Nairobi at the agreed time and drive you to visit a village of one of the most renowned communities in Africa - a Masai tribe.
The centre of Masai life is their cattle, which represents the primary source of food. A typical Masai diet consists of milk (mostly fermented), fresh blood, and meat, in this order.
But - all will be explained on-site!
Living a semi-nomadic lifestyle, the Maasai tribe has modernized in some ways but still adheres to many aspects of their traditional culture. Established as fierce warriors, their lively cultural dance, vibrant clothing, and beautifully crafted handiwork are recognized worldwide.
The Maasai used to move nomadically with their herds to abundant lush pastures but these days they have built permanent huts or bomas and prefer to stay in one place. They are pastoralists and cattle are essential to their way of life.
You’ll join women at milking their herds of cows and goats, making beautiful bead-work, cooking, and doing all the rest. Have a dance with the community members and listen to their stories from today and generations ago. Learn from ancient wisdom and see the modern changes.
Once you have drunk your fill of this authentic cultural experience, you can choose to browse through the Maasai Craft Centre and purchase artifacts made by the people you encountered where all proceeds from this go directly to the community.
After you’re filled with impressions and decorated with beautiful handmade beaded jewellery, we’ll tear you apart from the kind hosts and bring you back to your hotel or airport in Nairobi.
