Discover the traditional way of life of the local Maasai people…

Discover the traditional way of life of the local Masai people… The Manyatta (Masai village) you will be invited into is nor an artificial tourist trap! As the exclusive guests of Kilima Camp, you are invited into the Masai village where the family of our landowner still lives.

 After a gentle downhill stroll of 10 to 15 minutes, your guide and Maasai escort will lead you into the family Masai village surrounded by a fence made of thorny tree branches. You will discover the way of life of the Masai people, one of the few peoples in the world that preferred to stick to the Masai traditional way of life instead of succumbing to the lures of modern life.

 You visit the Masai houses in the Masai village (Manyatta) and the boma (or kraal) where the precious cattle (cows, sheep and goats) are sheltered every night.

 Masai handicraft items are offered for sale by the women: feel entirely free to buy or not (and bargain)…

 The duration of the Masai village visit is between 1 and 1 ½ hour in total; the visit of the Masai village can be arranged at any time of the day during your stay at Kilima Camp.
