Our tour guide Mrema, Very pleasant and flexible Accommodation with Gofan most excellent, will definitely recommend on my return to Canada. Lunch Boxes great idea was very good to give enough time to see animals, wish we had more time but will return. Next time will do Tanzania, with cross over to Maasai Mara in Kenya. Wish we came to Tanzania for longer.

Maasai Tanzania

Maasai Of Tanzania’s 120 ethnic groups, the Masai are among the best known to the western world due to their distinctive customs and dress, and their residence near some of the greatest collections of wildlife on earth. These traditionally nomadic herders and warriors live in Northern Tanzania and southern Kenya in the vast open spaces of the Great Rift Valley, sometimes called Masailand.

Survivors of a past era, the Masai live much the same way their ancestors did for centuries. Unconcerned about the passing of time, their lives are dictated by the rising and setting of the sun, the rugged landscape and the ever-changing seasons.

Masai cultural encounters are relatively new in Northern Tanzania. The best way to experience and learn about Masai life is to visit Masai communities and to walk and hike through Masai land with your Gofan Africa guide. Experience the awe and excitement of being on safari with Gofan Africa by going beyond the search for the Big Five – buffalo, rhino, elephant, leopard and lion - and include:

  • African bush experiences on foot accompanied by our professional Masai guides and trackers.

  • Cross-cultural encounters with Masai villagers away from the tourist circuit.

  • Home stay opportunities in traditional Masai bomas.

  • Hikes through Masailand with experienced Gofan Africa trekkers.
