Do I need a reservation to visit the MCC?
Reservations are not required but it can be helpful, especially in high travel seasons. We do offer drop in tours, twice a week, depending on the time of year.
Is lodging close by?
The Maasai ecoLodge and Villas, adjacent to the Cultural Center and is open and taking reservations. The ecoLodge offers not only stunning views, sustainable lodging, and delicious farm-to-table meals, it offers travelers a true opportunity to help the most at-risk Maasai girls. All profits from the ecoLodge go to support the Maasai Girl Rescue Center, home to over 70 girls who were rescued from terrible situations and given a loving, healthy home, medical attention, education and a path to financial independence.
Why was the MCC created and who operates it?
The Maasai Culture Center was created to share the rich traditions and lifestyle of the Maasai tribe with curious travelers interested in expanding their knowledge while benefiting the local community. All proceeds from the Culture Center go to support the Maasai Girl Rescue Center, home to over 70 girls who were rescued from terrible situations and given a loving, healthy home, medical attention, education and a path to financial independence.
