• Olpopongi Maasai Cultural Village is home to the Maasai tribe. The place is located just 75km from Moshi, and it is well-accessible. In your escapade at the village, you will get to learn how a typical Maasai survives in the wilderness, how they take care of their animals and in-depth knowledge about their traditional medicines. Maasai people are a Nilotic ethnic group that inhabits Northern Tanzania. They are highly famous for their unique culture and ability to reside near national parks. The Maasai speaks the Maa language, a Nilotic language related to the Dinka, Kalenjin and Nuer languages. Most of the Maasai have adopted the official national language of Tanzania – Swahili- except for some elders in villages.
• A typical Maasai lifestyle centres on their live stocks, which is mainly their primary source of food. Their wealth is also measured by the number of cattle. The wealthier a man is, the more wives he can marry and have more children, which counts as a symbol of respect in the village.
• As their societies grew, the Maasai realized their cattle were not enough for their daily basic needs, so they started practising farming as their additional activity leaving animals keeping their dominant activity. The Maasai are also recognized by their distinctive attires that vary with their age and gender. Maasai beadwork is also popular for its intricacy, and the women's beadwork expresses their position in society.
• Olpopongi  Maasai Cultural Village can be visited throughout the year, and there might even be a chance to spot some wildlife animals while on a walking tour that will be guided by the Maasai warrior guide. From December to April, the area receives rainfall, and you will get to see animals more easily; animals that might be spotted include zebras, Thomson's gazelle, dick-dick, elephants, and giraffes. From May to August, the place is usually windy and dry, and spotting animals can be more difficult.
