Here, visitors will meet a Masai family, primarily composed of women who sell ornaments and curios. They will also demonstrate their deep affection for their homestead, known as a Boma, which consists of round huts made of sticks, mud, and cow dung. Children will joyfully sing with their mothers, showcasing their natural hospitality to visitors. Despite the current mandatory school attendance, some Masai children may be reluctant to attend due to strong cultural beliefs. These beliefs include the importance of cattle as a measure of wealth and the tradition of marrying at a young age, often when they have just entered their teenage years. As it is an optional activity, it is charged at an extra US$ 30.00 per person upon request.

Giraffe Centre - Afterward, guests will return to Nairobi City, stopping at The Giraffe Centre in Langata. This wildlife conservation facility is dedicated to protecting the endangered Rothschild’s giraffe, native to the grasslands of East Africa. Founded in 1979 by Jock Leslie Melville and his wife Betty, the center began a breeding program by capturing two baby giraffes on their property. The center aims to conserve the species through breeding and reintroduction efforts into Kenyan national parks and conservancies. In addition to giraffe conservation, the center serves as an environmental education hub, especially for Kenyan school children, teaching them about wildlife and environmental stewardship. Visitors can feed giraffes from an observation platform and explore a nature trail sanctuary with various bird species and smaller animals. The center also raises awareness and funds through visitor activities, donations, and a gift shop, supporting broader conservation initiatives.
