Maasai Mara Village visit in Maasai Mara and Amboseli parks
The most iconic tribal group in all of Africa, is the Maasai, who populate vast areas of Southern areas of Kenya are the dominant ethnic group surrounding the Masai Mara. This nomadic, warrior tribe which once held vast swathes of pre colonial Kenya, still retain many of their traditions as they live largely untouched by modern day civilization, in areas surrounding Masai Mara. This one hour visit to a Maasai village is a chance to interact with the Maasai and get a glimpse into their culture, unique way of life and see first-hand some of their customs and practices.
The Maasai village visit is typically an excursion / optional tour included into a longermulti day Masai Mara safari tour, and couple of hours are set apart for this brief interactive visit to the village, which usually happens to be on the fringes of the main Mara game reserve boundaries.
The price for a village visit, which includes a contribution towards the village in form of a fee, is: $10- $15 per person.
