Tim was an informative and accommodating guide - good info on all things Massai and any other questions we had. The family at the village was welcoming and very willing to share their day with us.

Great and interesting! The guide was super nice and well informed. It was a great experience, we recommend!
We had an amazing experience on our Maasai tour! Obed was incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful throughout the whole experience. The tour led by the Maasai chief was also very interesting and insightful. We had the opportunity to learn so many new things about Maasai culture, traditions, and daily life, and to see things we would never have experienced on our own. It was a beautiful and enriching experience, and we are very grateful for the opportunity. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn more about Maasai culture!
What a genuine and eye-opening experience this was! This tour offered something you don't always get—a real, unfiltered look at day-to-day life in the Maasai community, and it was one of the most memorable parts of our trip. The Maasai people were incredibly nice and welcoming—they opened their community to us with such warmth and generosity, and it made the whole experience feel truly special. Our tour guides were also wonderful: so nice, friendly, and knowledgeable, answering all our questions and sharing insights that brought everything to life. We learned so much directly from the community—how the women prepare food and cook, how they weave necklaces and wristbands, and even how they milk goats! It was hands-on, personal, and gave us a much deeper appreciation for Maasai traditions and daily life. This tour is perfect for anyone wanting a genuine cultural exchange rather than a staged presentation. Between the warmth of the Maasai people and the knowledge and kindness of our guides, the lessons we took away were priceless. Highly recommended!
Our driver, Obed, was on time picking us up. He was very well informed and shared interesting facts on the trip to the village. We really enjoyed our visit. Especially learning how the Masai live, their customs, and how some of their day to day activities look. I would recommend this trip to anyone.
This was a wonderful experience.
I would have rated this experience with ten million stars if I could have. It was life-changing. Obed, our driver and one of our guides, patiently and enthusiastically answered my avalanche of questions about the Masai people and Kenya in general during our two-hour drive to the village and back to our hotel. During our visit to the village we learned so much about the history and lifestyle of the Masai people and about their values and culture. We didn’t only learn though; we were able to experience all of this. We were dressed in traditional clothes, we visited their homes, we watched them engage in activities like fire-making, we learned about indigenous medicine and participated in song and dance and received a blessing that I felt in my heart. This was a top-tier, next level experience with guides who genuinely respect, honor and love the Masai and have a passion for teaching and sharing their knowledge with others.Make this activity a priority during your journey to Nairobi. Your trip will be absolutely incomplete without it. Asante sana to Obed, Tim and the Masai people of this village for an unforgettable day.
Amazing experience getting to see and feel firsthand what a masai village lifestyle is like. Would recommend to anyone visiting in Nairobi! :)
My husband and I recently spent 2 days in Amboseli with African Bison Classic Tours, and it was the perfect way to start our marriage. The experience was amazing from beginning to end. Our guide, Japheth was an absolute darling. He was friendly and warm, and very well informed, sharing fascinating facts about the animals, their behavior, and the park. He made us feel looked after throughout the trip, and his knowledge made every game drive more special. The vehicle was the best we could have asked for. It was luxurious, comfortable, and spacious, with great views for wildlife spotting and photos. Being in Amboseli as a couple on our honeymoon was something we will never forget. We recommend African Bison Classic Tours 100% to everyone, whether you're a couple, a family, or a group of friends. Thank you, Japheth and the whole team, for such a special experience!
Visiting the Maasai village was truly one of the most memorable experiences of our entire trip to Kenya. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed warmly and given an opportunity to learn about Maasai culture, traditions, family life, and their way of living. Asante sana to Alfred and everyone in the village for welcoming us and sharing a part of your culture with our family.
Tim was our guide and driver. He was so kind, informative and helpful. We had an amazing experience in the village with the actual people who live there. A special cultural, educational and humbling experience. Do not hesitate to book!
Wonderful experience. Highly recommend! Ezekiel our guide was very knowledgeable
I Had An Amazing Time with the Maasai! They're nice & welcoming! The tour was exceptional. I'm so happy for this experience. I learned a lot about Maasaï culture!
Tim was amazing. I would recommend this experience to anyone looking for a true Kenyan/Masai experience. The guide was professional and arrived on time. Thank you and thank you Tim. You made our experience of 🇰🇪 memorable, my friend can't stop raving about you.
It is an interesting educational evento where you are able to experience diest hand how the Massai live, their society estructure and rules, talk wirh them and learn pf their past. Fuiste was very knowleasgeble in all Therese aspectos and shared them wirh you. Some of the tribe speak English so you can comunícate directly wirh them. A good experience Ro have in Nairobi. I enjoyed it
Absolutely incredible experience! Tim our guide was so patient, knowledgeable and kind. He shared informative / educational tidbits about Kenya and was very knowledgeable about the Masai people and their culture. Would 100% recommend.
Obed was an awesome guide! In a very short time, we learned an incredible amount about local Masai and Kenyan culture, history, politics, religion, ecology, and medicines. The experience of meeting and connecting with the Masai villager community was truly inspiring and unforgettable. We learned an incredible amount about Masai culture and traditional ways of living in harmony with the land and nature that restore balance and protect ecosystems rather than extract from them. I could not recommend more highly.
Ezekiel is an excellent guide, he knows the Masai culture very well. The Masai’s are lovely people and it was so much fun to learn more about their way of living. Highly recommended the tour
Tim was an exceptional tour guide who was very communicative, flexible and knowledgable. The Tribe are lovely welcoming people ☺️Tims level of detail was educational alongside being a nice guy! Highly recommend him as we had the best time with him and many laughs 😅 Thank you Tim for giving us a fantastic experience of your beautiful country💙
Ones was excellent. I would recommend this tour to everyone. Very informative and the whole tribe was welcoming. We dressed in their tribal dress and felt like part of the community. I would go again if we had more time. Well worth the cost!!!
Our host Tim was awesome. Personable and very knowledgeable. He explained along the way what to expect when we met our Maasai family. The experience in their home and meeting all of them was truly memorable. Great day to begin our journey.
Visiting a Masai boma with Tim as guide was the highlight of my trip to Kenya. I wound up having a private tour which felt really special and I learned a lot from Tim about the area. I was hesitant to visit a village as an act or tourism or commodification but the experience felt very sincere and authentic, the family opening their home compound and Tim explaining the way of life. I learned a ton and it really felt like a once in a lifetime experience that I never thought I’d have the opportunity for. A++ experience highly recommend, bring $20usd equivalent for family tip and also recommend tipping driver! Tim offered to stop and buy souvenirs (takes card) on the way back, which my family will be grateful for.
Fantastic experience to get close to the animals in a relaxed environment. Ask for Ben or Noel. They are both amazing.
My experience was awesome. Our guide was awesome. Ezekiel was attentive and kept us comfortable and answered all our questions.
The tour guide was an absolute gem! His extensive knowledge made him the best choice for our tour. He surpassed our expectations and provided us with invaluable insights into the country’s history, diverse cultures, and the fascinating Masasi people. From the moment we arrived at the hotel, he ensured our timely pickup and safe drop-off. Highly recommended!
A wonderful and insightful experience. Obed was friendly, knowledgeable and had great communication ahead of the day (he was also a great photographer!) The Masai village welcomed us with open arms and were so excited to share their traditions with us (a small glimpse). Thank you!
This was a great experience! Obed was our driver and Alfred was the chief. I came with my wife, brother in law and mother in law. We had an amazing time. They were so kind and hospitable.
One of the best expirience we had in Kenya
Our Masai Village tour was amazing!!! My husband and I went with another couple and the 4 of us enjoyed every second of this village tour. This was such a cultural rich experience that I would recommend to everyone visiting Kenya. In addition to the Masai villagers our driver (Obed) was the best! He was accommodating, pleasant, knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable and safe during our 6 hour experience.
Amazing experience! Worth every dollar spent. Highly recommend when visiting Nairobi.
Very great tour that was very educational and entertaining. I defintely reccomend this tour to everybody,
Our Guide was so knowledgeable and friendly. Communication pick up and drop off was outstanding . He even took time to take us to a very nice souvenir shop which was not part of the tour. Masai village was absolutely amazing. We got immersed into their world, and received so much interesting information about their way of life, habits, traditions and culture. It is definitely a must do!
Fantastic experience, highly recommend. We got to learn so much about Masai culture and traditions. Tour guide was extremely nice flexible and knowledgeable.
The tour was amazing! First off I would like to thank our Tour Guide Obed for being so wonderful and knowledgeable of the Masai people and their culture. On top of being knowledgeable, his photography skills are excellent and he made sure we got some amazing pictures and videos. On top of him being wondering, the Masai people were so hospitable and sweet. I really felt at home as they explained their way of living and their culture. From the men, the women, and the babies. Everyone was so nice to me, my mom, and friend. Thank you so much! If you’re coming to Nairobi, make sure you book this tour 🇰🇪
ONLY BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY! The pick up was on time and professional, the ride was comfortable and the guide discussed some amazing history and answer my MANY question, and the tribe was very welcoming. Tim was very knowledgeable about the history and what happens today. The tribe was so kind and their passion for showing us their culture was very apparent but not agressive. Words cannot express this experience. The ride home was comfortable and a nice wind down from an exciting experience. I would do this again!!!!
We had an amazing experience with Tim. From the moment we booked, the team was communicative about what we needed and what to expect. They were extremely flexible and thorough. Tim was a fabulous guide who showed great respect for the Masai people and helped make sure we did the same. He clearly has a wonderful relationship with the community, which helped us feel comfortable as they welcomed us into their community and home. Once there, they made us feel part of the family and took the time to demonstrate their many activities and even made small gifts for us and encouraged us to be part of one of their celebrations. It was an amazing experience you won’t regret.
Visiting the Maasai Village was one of the most memorable cultural experiences of our trip to Kenya. It was an incredible opportunity to learn about the Maasai people’s traditions, way of life, and history directly from members of the community. The experience was interactive from beginning to end. One of the highlights was learning how to throw a spear—it was so much fun for our entire family! We also watched a live demonstration of how they start a fire from scratch using only natural materials and traditional techniques. It was fascinating to see a skill that has been passed down through generations. We appreciated how welcoming everyone was and how willing they were to answer questions and share their customs and traditions. Being able to step inside the village and learn firsthand about their daily lives made this much more than just a sightseeing stop—it was an opportunity to gain a deeper appreciation for a culture that has preserved its traditions for centuries.
It’s a bit of a drive from Nairobi (90 minutes plus), but very much worth it. Mwose was an excellent guide and the experience was as authentic as you can get. You get to experience Masai culture hands-on, and the people are very kind & welcoming. Bring a few extra shillings to tip out generously, as only 50% of proceeds from the tour go towards the actual village. A must do if you’re in Nairobi.

We feel lucky to have found this tour! Tim was easy to communicate with for pick up times and let us know what to expect for this tour. He was very knowledgeable. Transportation to the village was comfortable. The Masai Village we visited was authentic, we learned so much. There was no bombarding for having you buy artwork from them. Please extend our appreciation to the families who shared their homes and culture with us. The men and women of the community were very welcoming and very nice.
Amazing tour. The locals were very friendly too.

No show for pickup even after confirming location day prior to scheduled activity - Tim tour guide very rude on phone
Visiting a Maasai village is truly a must-see experience in Kenya. Their rich history and deeply rooted traditions are unlike anything else. The simplicity of their lifestyle, free from many of the stresses of modern life, offers a fascinating perspective and is often associated with their longevity and strong sense of community. There is much we can learn from their example of living more simply and intentionally. Traditionally, they would gather under a tree for worship services, a beautiful reminder that faith is about the people and the presence of God, not the building. Our visit was made even more memorable by our outstanding tour guide, Tim, with Safari Port. This was truly the best African tour experience we have ever had. Tim's knowledge, professionalism, and passion for sharing Kenya's culture made every moment special. I wholeheartedly recommend Safari Port to anyone planning a tour in Africa. If you're looking for an unforgettable experience with exceptional service, Safari Port is the company to choose.
The guides were knowledgeable and our host at the village made sure our time was fun and informative.
Our day at the Masai Village was the highlight of our trip to Nairobi. Tim and Obin were world class. A truly life changing experience.
This was an amazing and unforgettable experience!
A great experience. Tim the guide was welcoming. Picked me up from where I was staying. I ended up being the only person on the trip which made it extra special. The Masai community was very welcoming. Showing us their way of life. Photos were allowed. Nothing felt forced. Highly recommend!
We went on the Maasai Village tour on our first full day in Kenya and it was a perfect intro to traditional tribal life for this nomadic community. Tim was full of interesting information and was attentive, responsive and thoughtful about all that we needed. We also appreciated the cultural respect of this company with more than half of the proved going directly to the family/village that we visited.
