I had a fantastic morning with Tasha and Surfic, who took us to the Masai Village. The van was reserved just for our group, which we really appreciated. The tour was very educational, giving us great insight into Masai culture. We even got to dress like the locals, dance, learn how to start a fire, and practice hunting techniques. As a keepsake, we were given handmade beaded rings along with unforgettable memories. I would definitely do this again.
