Meeting Maasai & Samburu Communities
Arranged directly with the communities themselves, not through a middleman — including the Samburu singing wells.
Cultural visits are easy to do badly. We work with communities that host on their own terms and keep the fee, rather than staged villages built for coaches.
The singing wells in Samburu are the most memorable: herders descend into hand-dug wells and pass water up in a chain, singing so their cattle recognise which family is calling.
