Cultural Week at Maasai Mara University commenced yesterday, launching an immersive and dynamic celebration that will run through Friday, aimed at honoring Kenya’s diverse heritage as well as international cultures. This annual event is more than a mere display of tradition; it is a vibrant platform where the richness of cultural identity, expression, and heritage comes alive across campus. Students, faculty, and staff are invited to engage in a colorful journey of music, dance, art, and cultural exhibits that span the depth of Kenya’s numerous communities, with a prominent homage to the Maasai culture, the university’s namesake.

Each day of Cultural Week offers unique highlights, from traditional performances that capture the heart of diverse Kenyan communities, to engaging workshops where participants can learn traditional crafts, cooking methods, and the stories behind them. The event also brings an international flair, showcasing global cultural practices that provide students and staff with insights into different worldviews and practices. Traditional attire day is a standout feature, where members of the university community proudly don the clothing that represents their roots, creating a beautiful mosaic of color and identity.
