This wizened elder seemed to treat us with a level of guarded suspicion before her son welcomed my wife and I into their mud hut. While the safari experience of visiting a Maasai village is completely staged for tourists, our take-away was genuinely positive and uplifting. Given the tragic displacement of Maasai from much of their traditional herding territory, tourism is an economic necessity for these semi-nomadic peoples. I highly recommend including this cross-cultural "attraction" in any safari itinerary of the Serengeti plains.
