Great emotion 🥰 - Visiting the Maasai village will remain etched in my heart as an extraordinary adventure, of rare intensity. A deeply human moment, rich in emotion, authenticity and sharing. I was touched by the warmth of Welcoming and the strength of the traditions of this unique people. A huge thank you also to our driver Mpemba, whose professionalism, kindness and attention made this experience even more beautiful and unforgettable.

A wonderful Tanzanian experience - Pemba was an excellent tour guide. He provided us with excellent information about Tanzanian history and culture and even taught us some words in Swahili. He was polite and took care of all of our needs. He was able to adjust the itinerary to meet our physical needs. We would love to travel with him again!

Incredible experience with an exceptional guide! - I really recommend this activity. The excursion is really great and the Maasai experience is really to be done if you are in the area (lots of explanations, dances - you jump with them), especially when you have a great guide!  I spent an exceptional day with Mpemba. I had originally booked the coffee route and Kilimanjaro, but as he learned I had already done it, he was super accommodating and instead suggested to visit the hot springs, which was a great alternative. Regarding the visit to the Maasai village, even if there was a Maasai guide on site, Mpemba knew a lot and always added additional explanations, which made the experience even richer and more complete. He was very patient throughout the day (I was alone) and spontaneously offered to take pictures to capture these moments. When he saw that I had finished earlier than expected, he even offered to visit the African Art Center to finish the day well. He is truly a great guide, very cultured, patient, attentive and who does everything to make his client spend an unforgettable day. I recommend it without hesitation!

Don’t miss! - The Maasai were extremely welcoming and friendly during our visit. It was an unforgettable experience to see how they live day to day. The Chemka Hot Springs is in a beautiful location and the swim was a magical place to cool off on a hot day. Our driver Anton is a sweetheart!

Very good experience! - We had an a very good experience. Our guide Mpemba picked us up at our hotel in Arusha and was very friendly. In the car he told us about Maasai and recommended to buy a gift for them, so we bought cookies for the Maasai children. The Maasai people were very welcoming and it was an amazing experience, the only minus is that we felt very obligated to buy souvenirs. Nevertheless, it was unforgettable, especially the dancing and jumping with the people and handing out the cookies to the kids, they were so happy. After a great lunch (where we got to choose between like 10 different options) we went to the Chemka hot springs. The hot-springs were very beautiful and calm. We went on monday, so it is not as crowded as in the weekends. The water was very clear and nice and after about 1.5 hour of swimming we were done and Mpemba drove us back to our hotel.
