The Dopoi Center

Many know Maasailand as a destination for wildlife tourism. But for us, it’s much more—it's the home of the Maasai people, our culture and community. 
As Indigenous people, we practice a rich ceremonial life and a pastoral economy that supports the land and respects our wildlife neighbors, and we are building a future that we are excited to share. At Dopoi Center, you can step into the heartbeat of Maasailand, leave your world behind, and sink into something truly different.

Visiting Us? 

When you visit Maasailand we ask that you join us in respecting the rights of the land and the dignity of Maasai culture by taking our pledge.
