What You Will Do
You might have had numerous encounters with the Maasai people while on safaris but most of the time, that is staged authenticity where they put up a show for you as they receive tourists on hourly basis. An authentic experience of any tribe in Kenya cannot be found close to tourist routes.
This village is exclusive for Happy Tribe only and at the end of the day we leave you to judge the authenticity of this experience.
This becomes more of an experience than a tour as you participate in in what Maasais do daily. From cooking ugali in a manyatta, beadwork, lighting a fire traditionally, milking a goat, dancing, singing and jumping with the Maasai people, you get to do them all.
While on this tour, feel free to investigate and ask regarding the exploitation of such vulnerable poor people by tour companies. We might be the only company that pays the maasais that turn up individually separating even a mans money from his wife. Payment is done via Mpesa to everyone present.
