Maasai & Samburu Village Visits in Kenya

Maasai & Samburu Village Visits in Kenya

Visit a Maasai or Samburu homestead, see the traditional jumping dance and learn how families live alongside wildlife.

The Maasai around Amboseli and the Masai Mara, and the Samburu in the north, still live in family homesteads (manyattas) next to the parks. A village visit takes about an hour and is arranged directly with the community.

You are welcomed with song and the adumu jumping dance, shown inside a traditional house, and see how fire is made by hand. Beadwork made by the women is on sale and the visit fee goes to the village.

Tips

  • Ask before photographing people.
  • Carry small notes in KES for beadwork.
  • Fits easily between a morning and afternoon game drive.
