Description

You will be picked up by our driver and led into the village. The village members will gather around to greet you into their land. Tall men and women, draped in their vivid red attire called the Shuka, will start jumping and singing. The Maasai men jump as high as possible during the dance to attract women, while the beautiful singing of women will fill the air. But you are also allowed to join in the celebration. The mighty warriors will come forward to drape you in their beautiful handmade necklaces and you can jump along or dance with them. After the thrilling start, you can finally get to personally know the Maasai. Now this is something you never could’ve done through a television show or just observing them from your passing vehicle. Villagers will lead you directly into their camps called Boma. A Maasai camp includes several houses made of mud within a boundary made from branches of local trees such as Acacia tortillas, Seyal, and Sisal. Inside the camp you can have conversations with the villagers and ask questions. It is supposed to be a cultural exchange after all. The guide will translate the local language, Maa, for you. To add to that, you can even try your hand at spear throwing and doing long jumps with a Maasai warrior beside you. These competitions are a part of their warrior traditions that helped them develop their prowess. Taking part in such competitions will be a rather unique experience then. You can also enter the houses to see how the families live. Although, you might find the houses a bit cramped and dark.
