A Maasai Boma is a traditional settlement inhabited by the Maasai people, an indigenous ethnic group primarily found in Tanzania & Kenya. The Maasai are known for their rich cultural heritage, distinctive attire, and pastoral way of life centered around herding livestock. A typical Maasai Boma consists of several small huts, or kraals, constructed from mud, sticks, and cow dung, forming a protective enclosure for their families and livestock.

Experience Maasai Lifestyle
Travelling in northern Tanzania, you are almost certain to meet some Maasai, one of the region’s most colorful tribes. The Maasai are pastoral nomads who have actively resisted change, and still follow the same lifestyle that they have for centuries. Their culture centers on their cattle, which provide many of their needs – milk, blood and meat for their diet, and hides and skins for clothing – although sheep and goats also play an important dietary role, especially during the dry season. The land, cattle and all elements related to cattle are considered sacred.
Maasai society is patriarchal and highly decentralized. Elders meet to decide on general issues but ultimately it is the well-being of the cattle that determines a course of action. Maasai boys pass through a number of transitions throughout life, the first of which is marked by the circumcision rite.
