Description

Step into the world of the Maasai people and experience their daily lives firsthand.

Begin your journey with a drive through the changing landscapes of Kenya, from bustling city life to vast open savannas. Enjoy informative commentary from your guide about Kenya’s diverse cultures and ecosystems. Learn how the Maasai start a fire without matches using traditional techniques. Then, try your hand at cooking 'ugali,' a staple Kenyan dish, alongside local women who will guide you through the process. Be welcomed with an energetic Maasai jumping dance and traditional songs performed by the warriors and women of the village. Hear captivating stories passed down through generations that offer insight into Maasai customs and beliefs. On select days, visit one of Kenya’s largest livestock markets, where Maasai herders trade cattle, goats, and sheep. This offers a rare look into the economic and social aspects of Maasai life. Get hands-on experience creating intricate Maasai beadwork, an essential part of their identity. You’ll also have the chance to purchase authentic handmade jewelry, with proceeds directly supporting the village. Step inside a traditional 'manyatta' (Maasai hut) made from mud, sticks, and cow dung. Learn how these homes are built, how families are structured, and how daily tasks are carried out. This experience isn’t just about visiting—it’s about connecting. You’ll have the chance to ask questions, engage in conversations, and even make optional donations or gifts that directly benefit the village without exploitation.
