Maji Moto Maasai Cultural Camp

I can't recommend Maji Moto highly enough. I went with my 2 sons (young adults), delayed from originally planned trip in 2020. We really felt welcomed by the excellent hosts, and that we could take part in the life of the camp. We were guided through learning about the ongoing cultural life of the Maasai people, and encouraged to pick activities to match our interests - the boys helped in the kitchen, and I helped some ladies build a stick house! We went on a bush trek/camp, and visited the school, also helping at a regular tutor session for some young people. We did some simple bead making, and practiced our spear throwing and archery. The hosts are also able to arrange a game drive to Maasai Mara Reserve - we had a fabulous day with a very experienced guide and saw lots of animals - cheetah, lion, warthog, hyena, ostrich, elephant, crocodile, hippo, giraffe, many antelopes. Lovely to finish each day around the fire, looking at the stars, listening to traditional songs and sharing one or two of our own. I feel like we met some special people and built some strong connections at Maji Moto, and we all plan to come back. It is well organised, but also flexible according to interests and needs. Food, accommodation and facilites all great. Maji Moto is also a resource for local people, and is developing or maintaining a number of initiatives to support the community, such as the school, a new livestock market, and a settlement/work for vulnerable women with families. I have already recommended it to several friends.

We had a fabulous three days here and really wish we could have stayed much longer! The activities were awesome, and it was nice to be part of daily life in/near the village. Facilities were great, food was delicious, and the fire and atmosphere were very special. I highly recommend staying at least three days to soak everything up and get more out of this experience than an overnight stay. It was an absolute highlight of our six weeks in East Africa, and we look forward to coming back for longer next time!! Apologies for my spelling mistakes, but Ashe Oleng to Kopai, Brenda, Kwelu, Rose, Naybor, and the entire MMCC family for sharing your home with us!! 😃

We had a great time in Maji Moto. It's an unforgettable memory and you can't compare it with other experiences. You have to be open for the massai who were able to preserve many of their traditions. But if you are willing to connect, you will create great memories.

I cannot recommend this place enough! Friendly people, delicious food, and a genuine sharing of the Maasai culture and their beautiful lands. We were lucky enough to also visit the Maasai school that is supported in part by the cultural camp.

Maji Moto Maasai Cultural Camp is a wonderful place to experience Maasai culture. It is located in a beautiful part of Kenya, with great views of the savannah. The camp is simple but comfortable, and the staff are very friendly. Visitors can join activities like learning Maasai crafts, listening to stories, and going on nature walks with Maasai warriors. It’s a special and memorable experience, perfect for anyone who loves culture and nature.

This is an absolutely fantastic way to experience the Maasai culture. The staff was fantastic, friendly and helpful. The overnight in the bush was a truly unique experience. Sleeping under the stars with the sounds of the animals echoing through the air! Amazing!
