Maasai village
Overview
Around the 15th century, the Masai moved from Kenya to Tanzania. When they first arrived in the country, they fought other tribes for more pasture for their domestic animals. The Masai are distinguished from all other tribes in Tanzania by their pride, intelligence, assertiveness, and friendliness. They are arguably Africa’s most visited indigenous tribes.
Visit the village of the graceful Maasai Warriors to learn about their way of life. Maasai are nomadic cattle herders known for their lively cultural dance, colorful clothing, and beadwork. Activities in the village could include Maasai dancing, watching warriors demonstrate how to make fire, spear throwing, and watching women make beaded jewelry.
Regardless of where they are on the planet. They would plan raids to reclaim their cattle from other tribes, wreaking havoc. The government has put a stop to their raids and claims but has allowed them to live near the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, allowing tourists to visit them.
During a typical Maasai community visit, tourists can visit their bomas or manyattas and learn about their cultural heritage from the elders. A visit would be incomplete without seeing Maasai warriors leap, dance, and drum. The Seneto Maasai Boma and Irkeepus in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area offer the best cultural encounters.
This opportunity for cross-cultural interaction benefits and matures visitors. Visitors can choose to help the women and children with daily tasks like assembling firewood for cooking meals, assisting with food preparation, and smelling and tasting the food as their tribal hosts demonstrate how.
Learning to weave and prepare clothing from animal hides, as well as safely collecting honey from rocky crevices and enormous, strange-looking Baobab trees, are all part of the adventure. Visitors can also become tribal members by participating in tribal chants, dancing, and hunting for the day’s food supply in the bush.
