Best of Maji Moto

Top itineraries and travel advice in and around Maji Moto

In the south of Kenya, Maji Moto is an aptly named Maasai Cultural Camp. While the nearby bush does harbor wildlife, the focus here is immersing yourself in the world of the Maasai and learning about their culture and traditions. Warriors will show off their skills, and let you try your hand at archery or spear throwing. You might witness a ceremony, help gather medicinal plants or pay a visit to a Maasai healer. And you can get a firsthand look at village life, from water collection and craft making to tending the livestock and nighttime celebrations.

Beyond the small communities, you can travel out to a bush campsite and listen to stories and songs shared by elders around the fire, and perhaps taste a local brew made from herbs, aloe root and honey. You can also go for some exhilarating walks in the area. In the Loita Hills on the western edge of the Rift Valley, Maasai guides will lead you to some impressive viewpoints while following ancient paths created by their ancestors.
