A Real Maasai village experience in Tanzania
About the Maasai experience
Explore the fascinating and authentic Maasai culture in rural Tanzania. On this trip, you visit the lesser-known Tanzania and meet the friendliest and most welcoming Maasai hosts who welcome you to stay in their homes. You stay in an authentic Maasai village (boma) that immerses you in the rich Maasai culture and pastoralist lifestyle. Here you will not meet any other tourists.
You learn how Maasai warriors use bush medication and where the Maasai warriors hang out in the savanna. You join the Maasai women in their daily life, and you enjoy your bush dinner outside under the African sky full of stars every night. Fall asleep by listening to nocturnal sounds of Africa, like hyenas laughing. We call this a once-in-a-lifetime trip to make!

Travel details
Time
You can book the stay anytime except in April when the savanna is not accessible due to the rainy season.
The minimum stay is two nights, but we recommend staying longer because the location is very far, and it takes time to reach the remote savanna where our Maasai family lives.
Location
Nearest airport: Kilimanjaro International airport (KIA), Tanzania
We come to pick you up from Kilimanjaro airport. All our locations are far away from the touristic route there are no roads and no electricity. It's a remote and beautiful African wilderness.
Accommodation
You sleep in a comfortable tent. We provide you with all the camping supplies, including a trekking bed and a blanket.
There are no shower facilities, but you can have a bucket of warm water to wash yourself every day. Our bathroom is a hygienic portable trekking toilet.
Food
Your food is prepaid in the bush by a Maasai chef. Tasty African food is made of traditional and fresh local ingredients. If you have a special diet, let us know in advance. We are happy to cater to all kinds of different diets.
You have safe filtered drinking water at all times. We also serve coffee, tea, sodas, and other local drinks. We avoid using plastic water bottles to conserve nature.

Only very few foreign guests did stay here before us, it is a true native experience!
We stayed in a good tent a few meters from the village under a big tree. It was a great opportunity to connect to the Maasai people, learn about their culture and challenges in life. We were being treated like part of the family.
