Arusha: Maasai Village Tour

2.Maasai Village Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 22 reviews · 6 - 8.5 hours · from $110

Spend 6 to 8.5 hours traveling from Arusha to a Maasai boma with an English or Swahili-speaking guide. Meet a village elder, see how homes are built, learn about customs and traditional medicine, wear Maasai clothing, and join the jumping dance. Lunch, water, transport, and hotel pickup are included. Chemka Hot Springs or a waterfall can be added.

“Unreal trip. Fantastic way to see Masai culture. My driver was Imran and he was very friendly and shared so much knowledge with me and speaks perfect English. The Masai were very welcoming and genuinely seemed happy to have me and teach me about their practises. Would highly recommend this if you’re coming to Tanzania. My only pointer would be, make sure to take cash as you feel quite pressured into buying items off the Masai ladies at the end and the items are quite expensive at $10 each. But of course it is nice to help them out in anyway if you can 🥰”
