Masai village visit from Nairobi day tour
Description
A visit to the Masai region would not be complete with a visit to our nearby maasai community boma (village), which delivers a unique insight into this age-old culture. The community with which has established a relationship is located just a hour drive away from the city and constitutes an enjoyable road trip with panoramic views of the country side. Once you arrive within the village, you can meet the people, visit a typical Maasai home, learn about Maasai daily life, enjoy dancing and singing displays and visit the community’s own handicrafts market. The vibrancy of Maasai culture is unrivaled and typically centers around a brushwood enclosure into which the community’s cows and goats are herding is their daily activities.

A perfect start to the Kenya experience. Douglas, our guide, was knowledgeable and accommodating. The visit was authentic and the tribe members were extremely friendly. I left with a great appreciation of the culture and families.

Travel time from Nairobi was 3 hours. Interaction with the Maasai people was between 30 minutes to 1 hour. We went to a small village. During the day, almost all the men are gone. Would have loved to see a bigger Maasai group. Experience was still worth going. Please be prepared to just be driven and left with the Maasai people for the duration of your interaction.

Magnificent experience. Very friendly people, with a unique culture. They explain everything very well. Douglas has been very kind and always looking out for us and ensuring that everything went well.
Thank you for sharing your experience with the masai people we are glad you had a wonderful tume.with our guide Douglas.
5 hours drive for half an hour in a very small Masai village. The driver used the tour to take his girlfriend with him. Overpriced for what you get
dear sir it is so unfortunate the driver had to carry other people along during the tour. the tour normally lasts 3hours . we will ensure nothing like this happens again in future , we really apologize for this unusual behavior by our driver.
Meeting the Masaai people and spending quality time with them. Learning about their way of life. They adorned me with their beautiful jewellery which was such fun. My guide Isaiah was also an excellent tour guide. He catered for all my needs and was extremely patient. I couldn't have asked for a better tour guide.
Dear Janett, Thank you for booking our tour and taking your time to write a wonderful review , we are glad you had a quality and special time with the clan and our guide isaiah was patient with you.
Beautiful experience. So authentic, rich with history and family values. Definitely worth the visit.
Dear Ndumi, Thank you for booking our tour and taking your time to write your experience . we are glad you had a beautiful experience to finding authentic historical encounter with the family values of the masai people.
Wow. What can I say? This was not your typical touristy trip. I actually got to spend quality time at a genuine Masai family community. I got to meet the 110 year patriarch, his children and grandchildren. They showed me their huts, how they operated in the day and even made me the most delicious tea, complete with freshly squeezed sweet milk, and took me into their world. This was much more meaningful and memorable than the jumping warriors or showy events, while entertaining, this one was the real experience. My guide, Douglas, was so generous and hospitable and that he never was on a rush and took pride in introducing this family to the outside world, in this case...me. I even hope to maintain contact with them as they truly won me over.
Hello Trey Thank you for booking our tour and taking your time to write a good review.we glad you found a new family within the masai community. We are also happy that your guide Douglas was of big use to you.
This was a breath taking experience from start to finish. Our drive (Douglas Muli) was on time and extremely knowledgeable. He stopped along the way so that we were able yo get breakfast for about a 2hour journey. He enlightened us about things we saw. We were a bale to stop at animal market witness how local sold cows and lambs. Learned about herbs how people from the village fight off sickness using the land. The Maasai people were very welcoming they educated on everything from how they brush their teeth to the secret to getting old. We met the elder whom was 103 years old and looked every bit of 70. They sang and danced and we were able to participate. One of the most humbling tours I ever been a part of. I highly recommend it. Coming from the United States (New York city) which is a very diverse place I must say I haven’t met any Maasai people there lol.
Hello Breathtaking, humbling, intriguing, we are so glad you had the best time with the masai community, and leraned so much from them from their ways of life , herbs, cattle trade leave alone the way their well kept teeth care with herbs. you did mot forget to mentioned Douglas Muli your guide and driver for his service . we welcome you back in future to explore the diverse traditions Kenya has to offer. Thank you very much it was a big pleasure to be of service to you.
