Our 2-night stay at Maasai Eco Boma & Lodge in Makuyuni was truly unforgettable — a genuine highlight of our family’s trip to Tanzania. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed with a traditional Maasai dance, setting the tone for an enriching cultural experience. The staff were exceptionally friendly and made us feel part of the community from the start. We took part in a morning walk with our Maasai warrior guides, toured the local village and the school project. Meeting the principal and having a guided tour from the vice principal — including a stop in a classroom full of bright, engaging children — was a real privilege. We also had the chance to try beading, meet the local healer, watch a fire-making demonstration, and enjoy a wide selection of delicious local dishes. One evening we dined under the stars, followed by energetic Maasai dancing — an experience none of us will forget. Staying in a traditional boma gave us a unique glimpse into the Maasai way of life, and we came away with a deep appreciation for their strong sense of community and cultural pride. This was not just a stay — it was a meaningful connection with an extraordinary culture. We can’t recommend it highly enough!
