A Truly Unique and Heartwarming Experience with the Maasai Tribe at Eco Boma 🌍💫 We’ve just returned from an unforgettable four-day stay with the Maasai tribe at Eco Boma, and I can say without hesitation that it was the experience of a lifetime. From the moment we arrived, we were embraced by the vibrant Maasai community, staying in a traditional mud hut that allowed us to immerse ourselves fully in their culture. Our time was filled with incredible experiences, including visiting the local school, meeting the village’s medicine man, and spending time with the children. Watching my son interact and play with them was both fun and heartwarming—it was so special for him to learn about this rich culture first-hand. We also had the chance to try traditional Maasai activities like throwing spears, making beads, and learning how to start a fire. A memorable part of our stay were two walks—one at sunset and another at sunrise—where we explored the stunning surroundings and learned more about the land and its wildlife. Every evening, we could dance under the stars with the Maasai, which was a magical experience, particularly for our 7-year-old. The food was simple yet delicious, truly a taste of the land. The staff at Eco Boma were incredibly kind and accommodating, always ensuring we were comfortable and well taken care of. Nothing was too much trouble for them, and their warmth added to the overall experience. What made this experience even more meaningful was knowing that 30% of the cost of our stay directly supports the local school. It felt good to know that our visit was helping the next generation of Maasai children. We also booked two safaris arranged by Eco Boma—one to Tarangire National Park and another to Lake Manyara National Park. For $900, including an incredible guide and lunch, it was absolutely worth every penny. The same guide picked us up from Kilimanjaro airport for $150, and the hotel arranged a seamless taxi service to near Arusha for $100.
