Gorilla and Rift Valley Safari
22 days - Nairobi to Nairobi - Kenya, Uganda & Rwanda
All of our tours are designed to get you out into the local community and meeting the local people. However, on this tour you will experience probably the most involved cultural interaction. While in the Masai Mara there are plenty of opportunities to interact with the local people who for the most part are from the Masai tribe. We of course run into the masai in towns and at some of the local markets we visit in southern Kenya and northern Tanzania. But while in the Mara you have the opportunity to visit one of the traditional villages or Manyata. This is a great chance to see firsthand how the Masai live day to day, going into their huts and playing with the kids is great. Also at night while in camp we can organise some dancing (usually around a fire) where you can join in and test your jumping skills. The women will also dance and there is of course always curios to buy.
