When visiting a Maasai village with our Tourism Company PROCEEDING ADVENTURES LIMITED you will start by arriving at the village with a warm welcome. After an introduction to the Maasai village, you will then step into a couple of Maasai houses and huts. You will be guided by your Maasai host to explore the traditional lodgings of the Maasai and how they live.
The Maasai love to share their incredible culture with visitors. So when visiting a Maasai tribe you can expect to see several Maasai traditions first hand. This includes celebratory dances and songs and a closer look at the beautiful jewellery made with typical Maasai beads.
