Depart Dar Es Salaam to Maasai Boma near Mikumi National Park which takes about 5 hour drive. A stay at Maasai Boma, near the Mikumi, offers a unique opportunity to get to grips with what life is really like in rural Tanzania.
This is far more in-depth, interactive and rewarding than a typical village Tour and allows you to spend time with Maasai. Each day is different and your guides will be the Maasai mamas of the village who show you their daily chores, invite you to collect water with them, make their traditional beaded jewellery and visit their school.
The lodge works with a sustainable development charity which helps these villages to improve their health, sanitation, education, agricultural education and clean water, but the village elders and Maasai mothers are the ones who lead the charge in changing their future. The cost of your stay here also includes a significant contribution to the local projects
