Nothing defines the Maasai so perfectly as the intricate and ornate jewellery that symbolises their cultural heritage. This full-day private Nairboi tour is held in the Masai homelands around Ngong Hills, and captures the spirit and essence of Masai life.
Your private Nairobi tour will be led by two Maasai tribeswomen and sisters who learned the skills of Maasai jewellery-making from their grandmother. Sitting under cool acacia trees in the stunning countryside, you will make your own Masai wristband under their guidance, using the colour codes observed by the Masai. Best of all, you’ll get to keep your handmade jewellery as your own memento of the day.

If you like, you can also take part in traditional Maasai singing and dancing, which will be experienced as part of your day.

This In Focus experience offers a total cultural immersion that will leave you with memories for a lifetime!
