Highlights
- Simanjiro - Kambi ya Chokaa is an authentic village founded by local Maasai which is nearby the hotsprings. We start early in the morning, the road takes us through beautiful landscapes - African bush land where we see dried-up river beds, baobab and acacia trees and sugar cane plantations.. During the visit you will have a chance to mingle with the Maasai and chat with them, but your social skills and creativity will determine how much they open up to you. Your English-speaking guide will assist you and translate into Kimaasai, as the Maasai themselves do not speak any other languages. Whilst you walk through the village with your guide, you will learn more about the culture of the Maasai. This will include a lesson on traditional Maasai medicine and the opportunity to taste the local Maasai tea. We will also have the opportunity to visit a Maasai home and lastly make fire in a local way
