Maasai Boma
      Throughout history succession of cattle herding people moved into the Ngorongoro Area and lived here until forced to move on by other stronger tribes. Around 200 years ago the Maasai arrived driving all before them. It is still possible to visit their communities and see their traditional way of life.
     About 42,200 Maasai herders in the NCA. During the rainy season they move on to the open plains and in the long hard dry season they move into the nearby woods. The Maasai are permitted to descend with their animals into the Ngorongoro Crater for water and grazing. They are not allowed to live or farm there. Elsewhere in the NCA they can to roam freely. 
       Visitors are welcomed at several designated Maasai cultural bomas. A visit to one of the following is highly recommended:Kiloki Senyati Cultural Boma, Loonguku Cultural Boma, Irkeepusi Cultural Boma or Seneto Cultural Boma.
