KENYA

Experience the true Kenya: one of proud and friendly people, breathtaking landscapes and abundant wildlife. Stay in the traditional Maasai village of Merrueshi as the guest of our dear friend, Kakuta Ole Mai Mai Hamisi, a Maasai warrior and junior elder. Spear-weilding Maasai warriors lead you on morning wildlife walks, and local meetings immerse you in a culture few truly experience. Your warrior guides also come with you on safari, sharing their knowledge of place and time, of animals and warriors.

I miss hearing their voices in their native tongue of Swahili and Maa and in working hard to speak English. I miss their authentic smiles especially when I am working hard to speak Swahili or Maa. I really miss the laughter of an inside joke shared between us. It is in this moment that I truly understand at the core of my being that I’ve left behind a significant piece of my heart and soul in Kenya with the Maasai.
