Visit a Maasai Boma
AFRICA SAFARI MAASAI BOMA
People planning to visit Lake Natron and the river crossing of the Great Migration in the north of Serengeti, will not be sorry to spend a night in Africa Safari Maasai Boma. With 17 Maasai-style huts (manyattas), this is a special place in a special location; with Kenyan Masai Mara in the north, Lake Natron to the east, Serengeti National Park to the West, and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area down south.
This boma (Maasai village) has 5 basic huts with shared bathrooms for couples who like to keep it simple, 10 bigger ensuite huts for 2 to 3 people, and 2 family manyattas for a maximum of 6 guests. The bigger huts are well-appointed with lovely wooden furniture, a bathroom with a European toilet, ceiling fans, and a private balcony. The lodge furthermore has a restaurant, bar, and swimming pool. And of course, at night the campfire is lit to allow you to share your stories by the fire – like a true Maasai.

Details of Masai village visit
The colorful Masai warriors are like a symbol of East Africa. Even with Tanzania and Kenya becoming more modern, these warriors still stick to their proud, semi-nomadic way of life.
Mostly, these guys are into raising cattle, and they judge a man’s value by how many cattle he has and how many kids he has. And guess what? The number of kids depends a lot on the number of cattle.
The Masai people have a unique style in their clothing. The women spend a lot of time making beadwork, and they decorate themselves with it, along with wooden or bone bracelets and earrings.
In Masai tribes, men are pretty important. There’s a group of elders who run the village, but the warriors, called il-murran, are a big deal too.
When kids are little, boys go take care of the herds, while their sisters learn stuff like cooking and milking from their moms.
Some real Masai villages don’t really welcome tourists, but there are friendly ones where you can buy Masai stuff or just hang out with them.
