UNDERSTAND SOMETHING ABOUT MAASAI CULTURAL BOMAS IN NGORONGORO

Cultural Boma in Ngorongoro are operated by the Maasai who are given an opportunity to stay at these Bomas for two years and then the other member group of the community  are given same opportunity.

Visitors are welcomed at two designated Maasai cultural bomas one on the road to Serengeti and another close to Sopa Lodge at Irkeepusi village.

One can visit the Maasai Cultural bomas in the NCA to learn more about their unique culture, to take photographs, and to buy mementos. There is an entrance fee to be paid but it is well worth it.
