Welcome to Mama Lucy’s Homestay – Live the Maasai Way
Located in the breathtaking landscape of Mount Lengijave with stunning views of Mount Meru, this Homestay invites you to experience the warmth of Maasai culture and a deeply rooted sense of community. Immerse yourself in daily life, share stories around the fire and create unforgettable memories in this charming home, where tradition meets hospitality.
Meet Your Kanga HostYour host, Mama Lucy, is a vibrant and inspiring woman – a devoted mother of six, a well-respected figure in the local Maasai community and a former English teacher. Her wisdom, strong spirit and wonderful sense of humour make her the perfect guide into the Maasai way of life. With her boundless hospitality and an ever-present cup of delicious chai, you’ll feel instantly at home.
By Lucy’s side, you’ll always find her last-born daughter, little Faith. At her tender age, she eagerly observes and playfully imitates her mother’s actions, allowing you to join her in learning about the culture along the way. When school is finished, Lucy’s older children will introduce you to traditions like Maasai dancing and farming or simply share stories with you.
Your AccommodationYour stay will be in a traditional yet modern Maasai house, built with clay to provide a pleasant sleeping condition in your private room. The walls of the guesthouse and kitchen are beautifully painted with traditional Maasai symbols, adding to the cultural charm.
The Homestay is surrounded by a peaceful garden, where many ingredients for your meals are grown. You’ll enjoy delicious, traditional dishes prepared over an open fire in the kitchen house – a place where warmth and hospitality never fade.
Milk the Cows at SunriseRise with the sun and start your day with an essential Maasai tradition – milking the cows. Learn the skill of hand-milking from Mama Lucy herself and enjoy fresh chai afterwards. As you sip on the rich, warm tea, you’ll gain a deeper appreciation for the close connection between the Maasai people and their livestock.
