Awesome Experience of a Lifetime! - Meeting the Masaai people and spending quality time with them. Learning about their way of life. They adorned me with their beautiful jewellery which was such fun. My guide Isaiah was also an excellent tour guide. He catered for all my needs and was extremely patient. I couldn't have asked for a better tour guide.

My new Masai family - Wow. What can I say? This was not your typical touristy trip. I actually got to spend quality time at a genuine Masai family community. I got to meet the 110 year patriarch, his children and grandchildren. They showed me their huts, how they operated in the day and even made me the most delicious tea, complete with freshly squeezed sweet milk, and took me into their world. This was much more meaningful and memorable than the jumping warriors or showy events, while entertaining, this one was the real experience. My guide, Douglas, was so generous and hospitable and that he never was on a rush and took pride in introducing this family to the outside world, in this case...me. I even hope to maintain contact with them as they truly won me over.

Breathtaking, humbling, intriguing, loved it - This was a breath taking experience from start to finish. Our drive (Douglas Muli) was on time and extremely knowledgeable. He stopped along the way so that we were able yo get breakfast for about a 2hour journey. He enlightened us about things we saw. We were a bale to stop at animal market witness how local sold cows and lambs. Learned about herbs how people from the village fight off sickness using the land. The Maasai people were very welcoming they educated on everything from how they brush their teeth to the secret to getting old. We met the elder whom was 103 years old and looked every bit of 70. They sang and danced and we were able to participate. One of the most humbling tours I ever been a part of. I highly recommend it. Coming from the United States (New York city) which is a very diverse place I must say I haven’t met any Maasai people there lol.

The Masai Village Tour was wonderful - Had a great time with our tour guide Douglas. The village and the people I met has forever touched my heart. I have never met such a people rich in love, rich is spirit, rich in happiness. It was a privilege to partake in the village and the life of those wonderful people in the village. Thank you.

Day Trip to Maasai Village - Travel time from Nairobi was 3 hours. Interaction with the Maasai people was between 30 minutes to 1 hour. We went to a small village. During the day, almost all the men are gone. Would have loved to see a bigger Maasai group. Experience was still worth going. Please be prepared to just be driven and left with the Maasai people for the duration of your interaction.

Disappointing tour - 5 hours drive for half an hour in a very small Masai village. The driver used the tour to take his girlfriend with him. Overpriced for what you get
