Must do - This was a great little adventure outside of Nairobi. I felt completely safe as a solo female, and in fact another solo female joined me in this trip. We had a lovely experience and would recommend if you want to do something cultural.

Am amazing cultural experience - This was a great experience and seemed very real and authentic. The Maasai people we met were happy to greet us and welcomed us into their community. We experienced a traditional setting and a way of life that is completely different from anywhere else yet with some real things in common. Making beads, herding goats, milking them and cooking traditional food on a fire where all interesting and the dancing and singing at the end was the highlight Of definitely recommend this but it is a long drive - about 3 hrs each way for a 1-2 hr visit plus it’s near the Tanzania border and not near the Rift Valley as described

Life changing experience - It was an absolute life changing event. The tour guide was phenomenal. Very friendly, patient, informative and fun. The villagers welcomed us like family. They taught us how they herd sheep, make jewlery, cook traditional African food and how to start a fire with sticks. Then we sang and danced together. It was very emotional when we left there. I really loved the experience. I 100%recommend this if you are in the area. You won't regret it.
