Special
Feature: Spend a Night in a Maasai Boma
“Authentic and
amazing interaction with a beautiful culture – Must do!!” (WT client)
Warrior
Trails is bringing people together to provide an opportunity to
participate in the fascinating Maasai culture and way of life. We have
been granted exclusive rights to offer clients the experience of a
lifetime - spending a night in a traditional Maasai boma. Situated in the
beautiful Lake Manyara/Tarangire wildlife corridor, a stay at Simangori boma can easily be incorporated into your safari itinerary.
Warrior Trails has worked with the
people of Simangori Maasai village to create a visitor campsite within the
boma confines. Whether you choose to stay under canvas, or in a
traditional Maasai hut, your overnight in the boma will be a life-changing
experience. Proceeds from camp fees go toward village development.
