. - A pleasant and instructive tour. The tribe's guide was up to the task. He introduced me to the culture of the Masai tribe in a simple and interesting way.

Learn about Maasai culture - Very educational 2 hours where you learn a lot about past Maasai practives and how the Maasai culture evolved over the years (sometimes with government pressure). They add some archery practice and Maasai dances to make the experience more fun. The entry price seems to be a bit dynamic and is advertised as USD$20. After the tour you get a chance to buy hand-made Maasai accessories but some bargaining is recommended!

Humbling and interesting experience - David was an amazing host. He spoke about how the Maasai tribe, their culture, history and lifestyle. He showed us their housing and some of their daily activities. It was an amazing and humbling experience learning about their tribe. Must visit the Maasai world if you visit Zanzibar!

Educational and Fun - Our group of 10 travelers from the U.S. thoroughly enjoyed this visit. Though it was a little ominous traveling the final leg of the trip up lonely and bumpy dirt roads in a very rural area, it was worth it. The Maasai welcomed us warmly and taught us much about their culture on a guided tour that included a history lesson, introduction to their unique language, a fire-starting demonstration, dressing us in their tribal attire, a ritual dance performed by the Maasai men, and lessons on how to shoot at a target with their bows. We were there the third week of June and the weather was perfect.

Amazing experience - Such an amazing experience. I booked a local cab to transport me to Maasai world. They are very informative and friendly. They put me in a costume, we danced and learned about the history of the Maasai. Would definitely recommend.

Maasai culture explained - Maasai World prides itself on being a cultural centre, teaching others about Maasai culture and providing a base for Maasai to connect to their culture. It is a difficult road to navigate, both getting there and learning about culture without imposing. David works hard to explain many facets of culture - language, tools, clothing, ceremonies, housing, family structure and the impacts of modern life. Other Maasai community members help dress visitors in traditional clothing, have a try at traditional archery and demonstrate how to light a fire - truly impressive. A highlight is a traditional dancing demonstration by the whole group. Visitors are welcome to go into the very low mud house to see how families live. Finally, there is a collection of traditional beaded jewellery for sale.
