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

Amazing Experience!! - The Masai village experience was my absolute favorite experience in Kenya. I thought it would be a comercialized replica, but it was a real Masai village! We got to interact with the men, women and children in the village and engage in some of their daily activities. It was priceless. Simon was an amazing tour guide. He was friendly and welcoming. His knowledge of Kenya and the Masai people was impressive. We had great conversation on the way to the village and on the way back to Nairobi. Once we got to the village, he facilitated an experience I will never forget. He even gave us a keepsake when he dropped us off - a beaded Kenyan bracelet. Simon, thank you for a wonderful experience!! :)

Every minute of the experience was exhilarating. - Everything was GREAT about this tour. Experiencing the livestock market and the daily life of the villagers were amazing. The best was seeing the trading of the livestock, the warm welcome upon our arrival at the village, making the traditional beads, cooking ugali, rounding up the goats and bringing them back to be milked and lastly dancing and singing with the Maasai. I recommend this experience to anyone visiting Kenya. Thanks to the tour guide Dennis who was very informative and involved in ensuring we had a great and fulfilling time.
