Tanzania is a melting pot of around 125 peacefully co-existing ethnic groups. Of these, the tribe you\u2019re most likely to have heard about is the Maasai. The Maasai have a rich cultural tradition and this includes crafts such as beautiful beadwork and intricate hairstyles that articulate the wearer\u2019s position and stage of life.<\/p>\n
This immersive, fascinating two-day tour gives you an in-depth experience of authentic Maasai culture and traditions. You\u2019ll spend a day and overnight with the Maasai people in the 100% traditionally built boma (village) of Olpopongi. Olopongi is a purpose-built cultural heritage centre that\u2019s run by the Maasai themselves.<\/p>\n
Olopongi is where you\u2019ll get to know Maasai art and dance, spiritual customs, medical and herbal practices, crafts and, of course, their hearty and tasty cuisine. You\u2019ll be shown round the village with its teeny-tiny museum, and you\u2019ll enjoy a herbal walk in the bush, guided by Maasai herbal specialists. Spend the evening in deep cross-cultural conversation around the campfire before you drift off to sleep in a traditional Maasai hut.<\/p>\n
