Masai Village

Olpopongi Maasai Village Day Trip

Come with us and visit a real Maasai village. Unlike many other Maasai villages in the area, which have been built only for tourist purposes, Olpopongi Maasai Cultural Village & Museum is the first authentic Maasai Boma and Museum with overnight facilities in Tanzania. Olpopongi provides a unique Maasai & wildlife experience in the West-Kilimanjaro Maasai land, just 74 km from Moshi While at the village you will share the authentic Maasai life & culture.

The income obtained from your tour supports local Maasai families with water, food, employment, personal income, medical treatments and education. All Maasai – jewelry on sale is hand-made and produced by the local Maasai women of other nearby villages. All Museum tours & walking safaris are performed by experienced English speaking Maasai guides

 We start early in the morning and are accompanied by our English-speaking guide. The road takes us through beautiful landscapes: African bushland where we see dried-up river beds, baobab and acacia trees and sugar cane plantations.

 Once we arrive in the village, please remember to be a respectful guest and do not take pictures of the villagers without asking. During the visit you will have a chance to mingle with the Maasai and chat with them, but your social skills and creativity will determine how much they open up to you. Your English-speaking guide will assist you and translate into Kimaasai, as the Maasai themselves do not speak any other languages.

 Whilst you walk through the village with your guide, you will learn more about the culture of the Maasai. This will include a lesson on traditional Maasai medicine and the opportunity to taste the local Maasai tea and A traditional lunch will be prepared for you in the afternoon. We will also have the opportunity to visit a Maasai home.

 After your tour of the village you will be transferred back to your hotel in Moshi or Arusha city.
