How much is a Maasai village visit and is it ethical?

Typically USD 25-40 per person, paid to the community (your guide doesn't take a cut), for a 30-60 minute visit — warrior dance, a traditional house and a beadwork market. Ask before photographing, dress modestly, and buy beadwork directly. A good guide steers you to a genuinely community-run village rather than a purely staged one.
