NCA 35 – Day Trip – Maasai Market Tour

Northern Circuit Adventure TanzaniaBesides its vibrant hospitality, wildlife parks, white-sandy beaches and exotic lodges there is something else synonymous to Tanzanian’s tourism– the Maasai Market. The market goes back to the 1970s when women under self-help groups sold their handicrafts to tourists visiting the country. Eventually, these women were joined by their male counterparts and together, they have sustained the souvenir bazaar in spite of the challenges the market has encountered over the years.
