Day 1 : Arusha - Olimpopongi Maasai Village

Location: Olimpopongi Maasai Village

Accommodation: Hostel

Accommodation Name: Traditional Maasai Clay House

Meals Included: Lunch, Dinner

In the morning we will pick you up from your hotel in Arusha. Afterward you will undertake an approximate two and a half hours scenic drive along the slopes of West Kilimanjaro up to the Maasailand near Tinga-Tinga. After arriving at „Olpopongi“ Maasai Village a group of pleasant Maasai and the Village Chief welcomes you with a chilled welcome drink.

During a walk through the village, your personal Maasai guide is explaining the life, past and today’s life of the Tanzania Maasai. Get more information about the culinary culture of the Maasai while tasting a traditional tea (chai) prepared on the wood fire. A tasty lunch with a variety of local food highlights will end the activities inside the village.

Afternoon starts with an exciting & very educational walking safari across the nearby bush. Maasai warriors will guide you along their paths and explain you typical medicinal plants, extraordinary trees, tracks and the local wildlife. In addition to that, the usage of local tools, hunting techniques and fire preparation is a part of your unforgettable bush excursion.

Coming back to the village, the well-deserved break is accompanied by freshly brewed coffee & cake. During the sunset a group of Maasai men and woman gathering around for the traditional singing & dancing performances. A great BBQ-Buffet right at the campfire and the „get together“ with your already known Maasai friends, will provide you an unforgettable evening under the (mostly) starry sky.

Evening will find the end at your private Maasai house on traditional beds with comfortable mats & blankets

Unforgettable experience

02-Jun-2023

We spent 2 nights at the village we received a very warm welcome and we learned a lot on the Maasai culture. We also went on a walking safari which was amazing. We highly recommend this village as it is quite authentic compared to what we heard of the other ones

Beautiful experience

05-May-2023

The experience at the village was great we learned about the interesting history of the Maasai and got to know their tradition and habits and we were welcomed very nicely with singing and dancing. It is worth to mention that we had lunch at the Village and even being vegan we were served a wonderful meal and the food was delicious!❤️

Best way to discover Masai Culture

09-Apr-2023

Our visit (with overnight) was most enjoyable, the program is well thought out and the activities are interesting. The bushwalk was especially exciting (we got to see a giraffe and even "learnt" how to throw a Maasai spear). The boma is very representative of what a real vilage looks like but is very clean (and the visit there doesen't include disturbing actual Maasai people going on about their lives). The food was very good and we really enjoyed the campfire dinner. Our guide, Freddy, was knowlegable and friendly. One thing you should consider though is staying overnight, on one hand, staying in the hut was deffinetly an expirience but you really shouldn't do that if you are sensitive to stiff mattreses. in our opinion you could manage to fit in all of the important activities in one day (espacially if you arrive early), but the dinner was really good so decide for yourself. And just a small tip: think beforehand what would you like to ask Grandma over tea to make the most of your visit to her.

Amazing experience

23-Feb-2023

What a wonderful visit! Our guides spoke beautiful English and were both warm and welcoming. We learned so much and really hope to return. DEFINITELY worth a trip if you are interested in Maasai culture and want a unique and authentic experience. Remember to bring some extra shillings. We didn't have and and really missed out on buying crafts made by the residents. Don't forget that your visit also supports sending their children to school!

Elie Oliver

One of the most striking, beautiful and genuine experience in Tanzania!

15-Jan-2023

We stayed 24 hours, one night, which enabled to better understand and dive in the Maasai culture. The two guides, Kimani and Fredi, are so kind and interestind! The cooker Isaya is also fantastic. What a memorable time with all the community
