The 15 Best Maasai Village Visits in Kenya

35 reviewed

These are arranged visits to Maasai homesteads, mostly near Amboseli or along the edge of the Mara, where families host visitors and are paid a fee for doing so. What you get varies widely: some are half an hour bolted onto a game drive, others are an afternoon with time to sit and talk. These 15 make clear which is which, and what the fee covers.

Full-day safari from Nairobi to Amboseli to see elephants and Mt. Kilimanjaro, plus a Maasai village visit in a pop-up roof 4x4.

“Wonderful safari! The day before, they sent us all the information and the link to purchase tickets for Amboseli Park. They were punctual in the morning, and the guide, Harrison, and the driver were kind and knowledgeable. The journey is a bit long and busy, especially on the way back. In the park, we saw many elephants, buffalo, wildebeest, antelopes, flamingos, hippos, ostriches, monkeys, and a cheetah that attacked some antelopes. The visit to the Maasai village was also interesting; they showed you their lifestyle, their dwellings, and their medicines. Amazing experience”

Maasai village visit from Nairobi for cooking, bead weaving, goat milking, and singing and jumping, with pickup and air-conditioned transport.

“Socializing with the Masai was very positive, I learned a lot about their culture and they are very kind. What I didn't like is that on this page the information says that we must pay 20 dollars for admission to the community but the driver asked me for 30 dollars, I thought it was paid in the village but it is not the driver who keeps the money, it would be very unfortunate if that money does not reach them when they talk about their homes and community.”

“The experience was incredible! There were so many animals in the reserve due to the migration so saw many different animals including lions, elephants and hippos. It’s a long journey from Nairobi with an early start however it is totally worth it. Our driver Patrick was very friendly and made us feel really looked after on our journey to and from the Masai Mara. He stopped off at an excellent coffee shop on route too which was needed! Our guide in the Masai Mara, Jacob, was brilliant at finding the animals and giving us the perfect view. We felt really lucky to have him as our guide. We finished our…”

From Nairobi to Amboseli for elephant herds, possible big cats, Kilimanjaro views, and an optional Maasai village visit, with an English guide.

“Die Fahrt war lang..aber das weiß man ja vorher... Unser Fahrer..Peter..war leider sehr lustlos...der ganze Ausflug verlief leider nicht so wie beschrieben... Das Observatorium wurde nicht von ihm angefahren...ebenso gab es keine Mittagspause im Park...bis wir uns umsehen waren wir wieder am Gate..dort baten wir den Fahrer wenigstens anzuhalten damit wir auf die Toilette könnten. Auf Anfrage hieß es dann wir gegen später essen....erst das Masai-Dorf. War ganz interessant..aber einmal reicht. Die Sachen dort werden maßlos überteuert verkauft meiner Meinung nach...aber wenn man das Dorf damit unterstützt....ok . Danach ging's weiter...und um 15.30 gab's dann endlich etwas zu essen für uns Wenn...”
