Itinerary

Become an Honorary Maasai

Begin the day with a drive into the Maasai heartland where you will be met by the Maasai village elders Daniel. He will take you on a tour to explain and watch the daily cattle drive and learn about some of the local plants used to make medicinal remedies. Then sit down with some young Maasai warriors who describe various aspects of their fascinating rites of passage, and who will teach you how to climb an acacia thorn tree in the event there is danger from predators in the bush.

Maasai Life in Focus

Begin the day back at the village by learning the traditional Maasai welcome with singing and dancing, which might include the extraordinary jumping dance, or ‘adumu’ which is how Maasai warriors demonstrate their prowess. Your host for the day has 52 siblings and his father has 6 wives; a starkly different kind of community structure to the one we are familiar with. Use the time to get to know your host and ask the questions you might have, and enjoy the humour of the villagers
