Visit an authentic Maasai village and experience firsthand how these iconic pastoralists—renowned for their traditional herding skills and legendary warrior culture—live in harmony with the land. Learn about their daily routines, their deep connection to livestock, and the role of Maasai warriors who guide and protect their cattle through challenging landscapes in search of water and pasture. While the traditional Maasai diet includes meat, milk, and blood, you won’t be offered the latter—you’ll enjoy a delicious Maasai-style milk dish alongside your packed lunch instead. During lunch, you’ll sit with a village elder who will share stories, beliefs, and customs passed down through generations. Afterward, join the men and women for their vibrant traditional dances before returning to your residence.


This Maasai boma is conveniently located near Chemka Hot Springs, making it easy to combine both experiences in a single day, and Kikuletwa Waterfalls are also close by. For those seeking a scenic adventure, you can enjoy a bike tour from Moshi to the Maasai boma—or ride from the boma all the way to Chemka Hot Springs. There is also the option to add the Maasai Village Tour to a Chagga Village Overnight Trip for a deeper cultural immersion.


For a deeper cultural immersion, you can spend two days and one unforgettable night living among the Maasai themselves. Your first day is dedicated to learning Maasai traditions, joining in their energetic dances, and playing age-old games that have been part of their community for generations. As evening falls, you’ll gather around a glowing bonfire while the Maasai prepare a traditional barbecue—usually goat, though alternative options can be arranged—sharing stories under a sky full of stars. You’ll sleep in a traditional Maasai hut, warmed by a small fire just as families have done for centuries.  The next morning, you’ll accompany the warriors as they guide their livestock across the savanna, with opportunities to spot playful monkeys along the way and even help with the milking of the cows if you wish. By late afternoon, after living a day in the rhythm of Maasai life, you’ll return to Arusha with memories found nowhere else in Tanzania.
