Highly recommend

Rachel_K, Jan 2026

Highly recommend!! So glad I got to experience this before leaving Zanzibar. David, who guided us around, was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about Maasai culture and traditions and even learned some words in their (Maa) language. Really fun and interactive visit. Very cool to see the houses, get to wear the traditional clothes and see the Maasai dance in action along with joining in. Thank you so much David, the boys and women & children for an amazing day.

Such a wonderful and educational visit. Not to be missed!

This was such a wonderful experience to learn about the Maasai culture and way of life. Our Maasai guide was so open and welcoming and in addition to educating us about Maasai, gave us lots of opportunities to ask questions as well. His English was easy to understand and he understood everything we asked him as well. No one hassled us for money and we weren’t pressured to buy anything so if you might be hesitant to visit because of that, it wasn’t an issue at all. I would encourage anyone visiting the area to plan a trip here to learn about the Maasai.

David was polite and...

We had a wonderful time at Maasai World! It was a truly enriching cultural experience filled with new information and insights. The dancing was especially fun, and we really enjoyed joining in with the Maasai people. One of the highlights of our visit was meeting Dawood, the elder of the community. He has an incredible personality — wise, engaging, and full of knowledge. This was definitely one of the most enjoyable and memorable experiences for me and my family. Highly recommended!

Such a great and immersive way to learn about the Maasai people

This was such an amazing experience! Our guide David was very knowledgeable about the history of the Maasai and how they have developed over time. It was great to be immersed in the activities of the people and learn their way of life. Will definitely recommend this tour if you're in Tanzania.

Educational and Entertaining Experience

LaMont_J, Jun 2024

Our group of 10 journalists and professional friends enjoyed the visit and appreciated both the education and the entertainment when we went in June 2023. We had such an enjoyable experience that a smaller group of us have booked a visit there again when we travel to Zanzibar in a few days (June 2024). We highly recommend this experience.

Amazing Maasai experience!

This was interactive, fun and educational. I definitely learned a lot and all my questions were answered. I recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning and experiencing a different culture.

Nice expérience ! You can live what is mentioned by the person...

Big Up Maasai World!!!

Tynnetta_K, Mar 2023

Maasai World was the best part of Zanzibar! I have been watching documentaries on The Maasai for over a decade, and it was a real treat to meet the women and men up close and personal to learn first-hand about their culture and heritage. Honestly, I felt proud to be descended from Africa! Don't miss out on this opportunity to learn about The Maasai!!!

Come and learn!

Now this was fun ! And very informative! David ( our guide ) told us all about history and present life of Maasai people. Some information about their life are not easy to digest by western minds but he doesn’t hide anything. You will learn a lot of small details and you can ask all the questions you want. My favorite information I learned was that the beads what Maasai people use for their jewelry is from Czech ! As a Czech girl that made me proud 😁 I would highly recommend this since you see Maasai all around Zanzibar but this tour explains why they are there and what’s their life. Thank you David !
