You can learn more about their traditions and lifestyle if you visit a Maasai boma, i.e. a Maasai village, with a local Maasai guide. The Maasai guide and the Maasai boma you visit can make the difference, there are boma involved in culture tourism projects, or off the beaten areas where the experience is much better. For this reason I recommend planning this visit in advance with an experienced local tour operator.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 ez-toc-wrap-center counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title ez-toc-toggle\" style=\"cursor:pointer\">Table of contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #000000;color:#000000\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #000000;color:#000000\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/savannahexplorers.net\/blog\/2015\/06\/09\/i-masai-e-la-visita-del-masai-boma-in-tanzania\/#What_can_we_see_and_experience_at_the_Maasai_Boma\" >What can we see and experience at the Maasai Boma?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/savannahexplorers.net\/blog\/2015\/06\/09\/i-masai-e-la-visita-del-masai-boma-in-tanzania\/#The_Masai_and_the_Modern_World\" >The Masai and the Modern World<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_can_we_see_and_experience_at_the_Maasai_Boma\"><\/span>What can we see and experience at the Maasai Boma?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before arriving at the Masai boma is very interesting a beush walk with a Maasai guide (if not too hot) where you can see the plants used in traditional Maasai medicine, maybe some wild animals footprints, the Maasai cattle and more depending where we are and when we experience this visit. Be careful because this bush walk is not always provided but can be requested.<\/p>\n<p>The Maasai Boma is the Maasai village where the head of the family lives with their wives and numerous children and all his cattle. Usually they welcome you with a welcome song and invite you in their traditional \u00a0dances, we will see the main fence made of thorny acacia branches, fences for animals, their houses and how they cook. You can buy some necklace or souvenir but remember to negotiate a little bit on the price.<\/p>\n<p>Maasai people are usually friendly and playful, you can joke with them, but remember they are proud warriors. Usually you can take pictures, but it is better to ask first. If you bring them a gift, for example, a kilo of sugar, you will be even more welcome.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-560 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-large'><figure
