Maasai Village Experience Day Tour

Description

Ethical Impact: We are likely the only company that pays every participating villager individually. Using an online register, your guide records attendance, and payments are sent directly to each person via M-Pesa immediately after the visit. Through the Happy Tribe Foundation—a legally registered NGO in Kenya—we sponsor school fees for children from underprivileged families and support girls escaping early marriage or FGM. We also buy rain water storage tanks for the villagers among other needs. Your guide will provide details on how to donate and how we communicate the impact of your contribution to you. Responsible & Sustainable Tourism: We kindly ask that you dress and behave modestly during your visit. If you smoke, please step away from the group and the villagers, and ensure that cigarette butts are disposed of properly. Any photos taken in the village to be used for personal memories only and not for commercial purposes. You can post them on your socials to promote the tribe.

An Authentic and Memorable Maasai Experience

We had an incredible experience on this tour! Traveling with my daughter made it even more meaningful. Our guide, Jacqueline, was excellent, friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. She made sure everything went smoothly and helped make the day truly enjoyable. The Maasai family welcomed us with open arms and made us feel like honored guests. They generously shared their culture, traditions, and way of life, creating an authentic experience that we will never forget. Their warmth and hospitality were the highlight of our visit. The only reason I didn't give any logistical suggestions beforehand is that the tour description did not mention the village was approximately three hours away each way, and that the journey was in a private car. Knowing this in advance would have helped us better plan for the long drive. Overall, it was a wonderful cultural experience that we would highly recommend to anyone visiting Kenya. Thank you to Jacqueline and the Maasai community for such a special day!
