Maasai Tribe Visit

The Maasai Tribe are one of the most famous tribes in the world, renowned for their colourful dress and as fearsome warriors.

Northern Tanzania and Kenya is the heartland for the Maasai where you can find their settlements known as bomas. A visit to a Maasai boma provides a unique and eye-opening experience where you can learn about their traditional culture.

A typical visit to a Maasai boma involves witnessing traditional song and dance, learning how they make fires and entering Maasai houses. However, there is so much more of Maasai culture to see which is exactly why I customised my visit to the Maasai to incorporate learning about Maasai cuisine.
