Maasai Village Experience Day Tour

Ethical Impact: We are likely the only company that pays every participating villager individually. Using an online register, your guide records attendance, and payments are sent directly to each person via M-Pesa immediately after the visit. Through the Happy Tribe Foundation—a legally registered NGO in Kenya—we sponsor school fees for children from underprivileged families and support girls escaping early marriage or FGM. We also buy rain water storage tanks for the villagers among other needs. Your guide will provide details on how to donate and how we communicate the impact of your contribution to you. Responsible & Sustainable Tourism: We kindly ask that you dress and behave modestly during your visit. If you smoke, please step away from the group and the villagers, and ensure that cigarette butts are disposed of properly. Any photos taken in the village to be used for personal memories only and not for commercial purposes. You can post them on your socials to promote the tribe.
