Make your visit to Kenya a complete experience – not only amazing wildlife, enchanting beaches, and the metropolis, there’s culture and tradition to explore, too.
Visit a Masai village and grab the opportunity to learn about traditional life first-hand!
This trip lets you enter the traditional lives of the Masai people, those proud warriors and cattle-breeders, whose wealth is still measured in numbers of cattle and children.
A genuine experience, that will give you a unique insight into their day-to-day life, culture, habits, traditions, cuisine, and joy.
And, very important is, that you’re most welcome at Maji Moto. These people agree to visits and are happy to share their lives with strangers.
Weu2019ll pick you up at your hotel in Nairobi at the agreed time and take you to visit a village of one of the most renowned communities in Africa – a Maasai tribe.
The centre of Maasai life is undoubtedly their cattle, which represents the primary source of food. A typical Maasai diet consists of milk (mostly fermented), fresh blood, and meat, in this order. Vegetables and fruit are more a snack, if so. Youu2019d expect them to be quite unhealthy, but youu2019d be wrong. They ingest many bitter herbs with the active ingredient saponin, which reduces cholesterol, so they do not develop heart or vascular diseases. And their teeth – mesmerizing white smiles shine on every mouth since they almost donu2019t develop any caries.
So health they have. And the wealth is measured in numbers of cattle and children – both have to be plenty. If a man has plenty of one and not of the other, he’s considered to be poor.
But – all will be explained on-site!
After a three-hour drive from Nairobi, just on time for lunch, youu2019ll arrive at Maji Moto eco-camp, situated on top of a hill of Loita Hills, near the Maji Moto village. After lunch, you will join a guided nature walk, get Maasai cultural u2018briefingu2019, learn how to make a fire and finish the day around the fire with Maasai warriors sharing their stories. Learn from ancient wisdom and see the modern changes.
After breakfast, a display of Maasai u2018marshal artsu2019 can be expected – warrior training, stick fighting, spear throwing and archery among others. Alternatively, join women making beautiful beadwork, go for a walking safari, or something else. We will visit the village school and the hot spring nearby. After youu2019re filled with impressions and decorated with beautiful handmade beaded jewellery, weu2019ll tear you apart from the kind hosts and bring you back to your hotel or airport in Nairobi.
