Meet the Maasai out of the Northern safari circuit

Meet the Maasai out of the Northern safari circuit

This Maasai stay is far away from the Northern safari route where you will see the real rural Tanzania and amazing Maasai culture. Observe animals in beautiful but less visited National parks such as Mkomazi Game Reserve and Arusha National Park.
