An afternoon with a Maasai family
Visit a Maasai manyatta as a guest, not a photo stop. We work with families we know personally, who set the tone and the boundaries.
- Chai and conversation with elders
- Adumu jumping dance, if asked
- Bead making and craft demos
- Direct support to the community
Duration
Half day (typically afternoon)
Best for
Travellers who want substance, not theatre.
The details
How it works
Small groups (max 6), 2 to 3 hours, hosted by a family that's invited you in. Donations go to the manyatta directly.
