The Massai Culture Experience (M.A.C.E)
The only African cultural experience  M.A.C.E Cultures project, experience life as a Masai
warrior in one of Africa's most beautiful and scenic countries. Our
volunteer project and cultural exchange in the Masai community can be
varied as you want it to be and as flexible. Whether you want to just
kick back and take in everyday life with your fellow volunteers or whether you want to get involved with milking, dances and other activities,
there is something for everyone here.
The Maasai people are the most interesting people in Tanzania because of their lifestyle, which until today has remained intact and unchanged for a number of centuries. Located in the mountains near Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, this Maasai groups beliefs and traditions confine themselves to cattle-keeping, with less interest in modern lifestyles. The men and woman of the tribe perform many traditional ritual and initiation ceremonies throughout the year. Our volunteers learn what its like to live like a massai; spend a day grazing cattle, participating in a dance, making traditional massai meal, learning how to bead a traditional massai head dress, or listening in as a massai story-teller talks about wildlife, cattle or lifestyle.  |

you can also adapt your experience as the days pass, from spending time
with the Massai to trying learning a new language for the first time, milking the
family goat to joining in with Masai celebrations! And even if you have
nothing planned, each day the people will never be far aware trying to
catch their house guest's attention!
