All of our safaris include a visit with these amazing people.
The Maasai tribe lives in southern Kenya and northern Tanzania. They are known for their welcoming dances where the man sings and jumps as high as possible with straight legs, to show how fit and strong they are. The woman stands at the side, singing with the man and doing a special dance for women only.
The Masai believe that all the cows in the world belong to them and were given to them by god. A family’s wealth is measured by the number of cows they own.
The Masai tribe lives in villages (Manyata) and each woman builds a small house (boma) for her family. The boma’s structure is made of wood and it is covered by a mix of mud, wood and sticks, grass, cow dung, human urine, and ash. Traditionally, men wear sheets that are wrapped around the body. Usually, the main color is red but you can see some blue colors and a paid pattern. Men and women are wearing ornaments made of colorful beads.
It is the migration for which Serengeti is perhaps most famous – over a million wildebeest and about 200,000 zebras flow south from the northern hills to the southern plains for the short rains every October and November, and then swirl west and north after the long rains in April, May, and June.
During the months of July-September, the herds will cross the Mara River again and again in search of fresh grass. They will have to face the mighty crocodiles in the river, who are waiting quietly in the water for their opportunity. Serengeti is also known as the “endless plains” in the Maasai language.
Notes
Please know that we cannot give any guarantee for the described animal observations on our trips.
These are wild animals in the wild whose behavior can never be guaranteed. For this reason, no travel price refund is possible if some animals are not seen.
However, our experienced safari guides will use all their experience and knowledge to provide you with as much adventure and wildlife observation as possible.
The opening hours of the national parks are daily from 06:00 – 18:00. Please understand the maximum length of stay (until 18:00 hrs.) cannot always be exhausted, as many sections of the route in Tanzania should not be traveled in the dark. Wishes or comments can be discussed with your local tour guide.

COVID 19 Travel NoticeThe government in collaboration with the tourism private sector through the guidance of the Ministry of Health, Community Development, Gender, Elderly and Children (MoHCDEC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) jointly developed Standard Operating (SOPs) to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus in tourism-related activities in the country.
Amref Flying DoctorsDuring your round trip in Tanzania (including Zanzibar) you are covered by our local partner agency through a tourist membership with the Amref Flying Doctors. The Amref Flying Doctors membership enables you to be evacuated in a medical emergency and flown to the nearest local hospital.

We will leave no stone unturned to solve the problems as quickly as possible. An honest word on the spot is more effective than a subsequent letter of complaint.
