Excellent Cultural Experience! Worth the long drive. - Taking part in this lovely people groups daily life was an awesome experience and a privilege. They were very generous with their time and the music and dancing was beautiful. The cattle market is a great opportunity for some great photography.

Great tour to immerse yourself in Kenyan villlage culture. - I had a great time visiting the Maasai village. It was a long drive but Simon was a joy and very knowledgeable about the history of the Maasai people. Since it was a Monday, we were able to attend the market where they trade/sell livestock in the community. It was chaotic and very interesting to see. I also loved being able to wear the Maasai attire and see how they live. I did a pretty good job making ugali (traditional Kenyan dish) and was able to milk a goat for the first time. Overall, a very educational and enriching experience.

Experience life as a Maasai wonan - My driver, Simon was such an engaging and lively driver. He was very knowledgeable about the Maasai people as well as Kenyan culture and society. My solo trip to the Maasai Village was a once in a lifetime experience. I felt very welcomed there and would highly recommend this to any solo women travelers.

Authentic!! - In a world where many travel experiences are becoming watered down..... this was one of the most authentic experiences I've had in a while. We literally experienced a day in the life of a Masai and it was awesome. Dennis is an amazing host, very down-to-earth and very hilarious which is a big plus for me 🤣. I highly recommend booking this tour

Too expensive for the experience. - The Maasai village we visited was not as I expected, its clothes were mixed with ordinary clothes, it seems too much money for what was the experience.
