Arusha to Tarangire with Masai Village Visit
After breakfast, drive about 90 miles southwest to Tarangire National Park, stopping at an authentic Maasai Boma and having a ‘chat’ under a tree with the Local Chief. An authentic glimpse into the distinctive Maasai culture is a must whilst in Tanzania. Preservation of their proud traditions has set the Maasai apart from other indigenous groups in Tanzania, and embodies a side of Africa with which few outsiders can contact.

We offer guests a memorable opportunity to interactively experience the Maasai way of life through an excursion to a traditional boma where guests will be able to participate in a variety of unique cultural activities, and encouraged to delve as deep into the experience as possible! Woman can experience what life as a Maasai Woman is all about and the Men will herd some goats and sheep and try the local brew.

Arrive at your accommodation for lunch, an afternoon siesta before going on an afternoon game drive to see large herds of elephants and endemic birds such as the Ashy Starling, Yellow Collared Lovebird, and Fisher's Lovebird returning for dinner and overnight.

Some fabulous wildlife sightings can be found here as well as big herds of elephants. The choice is yours. Enjoy a night drive this evening too (additional cost).
