3 Days / 2 Night – Mukuru Camp Visit

3 Days / 2 Night – Mukuru Camp Visit

Mukuru Eco-Tented Camps, you don’t only stay in a camp. You stay within the Mkuru community, who our camp is strongly connected with - through our staff and camp manager, but also through a long historical bond, and common engagement and commitment to sustainable development. So when you come to our camp, you directly contribute to the Mkuru community’s wellbeing and are in return warmly welcomed to explore, discover and experience Mkuru, to connect with its people and to just feel at home.

ITINERARY

DAY ONE 

Depending on your flight time, upon your arrival at Airport or Arusha town, meet and great with one of our representative then transfer to Mukuru Eco tented camps. 

Visit a Masai Family
Visit a family of our Mkuru community in their Boma (household) and get authentic insight to Maasai life off the touristic paths. Join in everyday tasks of the women, have a chat with the elder or play with the kids. We rotate the families our guests visit 

OR

Masai Game
Learn to play some traditional Maasai group games and test your reflexes! A group of young Maasai from Mkuru community will come to the camp and teach you their favourite leisure time games. Most fun if you come with a group as well

Bush Experience
Ever wondered how to make a fire to cook your food in the wild after it had just rained? How to clean your teeth far from a shop to purchase a toothbrush? Or how to treat your headache in the bush? On a short walk around the camp you will try and learn all this and more from your Maasai guide.

• Break for Dinner

Camp Fire and Story Telling
What is an evening around the campfire without a good story? In this case, it is the story of the Maasai in this area, their traditions and beliefs, their ways of conflict solving and use of traditional medicine. A Maasai elder will tell you about all this in Maasai language, translated to English by a staff member. Afterwards you have the chance to ask the story teller any questions that came up

Maasai Goat BBQ – For Extra Cost
Enjoy some traditionally roasted goat meat around the campfire and learn which part is eaten (or not eaten!) by who in Maasai society. You can combine the BBQ very well with a Maasai Story Telling.
