This tour was hands down one of my favorite experiences during my entire trip. I've been to another Maasai village and this by far was the most authentic.

After seeing the Best Ever Food Tour visit at the Maasai Mara village in Amboseli, I was inspired to go! I contacted Emmanuel and he was instantly a wealth of knowledge. We communicated often about my trip so much that by the time we met, I felt as if I were amongst friends. Along with Emmanuel was Carlos Roy, our driver. Carlos and Emmanuel were incredibly knowledgeable about the Maasai people, the area and could answer all of my questions. Carlos is by far the best driver. He is considerate and has a great sense of humor. You definitely won't be bored as he introduces you to the "African massage"! On the tour, Emmanuel was able to translate my questions, arrange a time for me to personally interview the elder and much more! This tour was hands down one of my favorite experiences during my entire trip. I've been to another Maasai village and this by far was the most authentic. I felt as if I was truly able to experience the culture as well as gain an appreciation for their desire to keep up with today's technology while preserving their traditions and norms. I'm so glad I did this tour with Emmanuel and Carolos. I am a travel advisor and my goal is to send my clients seeking an authentic experience to tour with Emmanuel and Carlos in the future. My one piece of advice would be not to wait, book today because this is a really popular tour!!!Show more

  What time do we have to be in Nairobi on Jan 11th and what time will we be back in Nairobi on the 16th of January? Also, is there an option to not participate in the goat sacrifice and blood drinking/tasting? If so, what our other options to do at that time?
- Holiday Destination SafarisOperator•Written May 2022
  It is good to arrive in Nairobi on 11th Jan in the afternoon / evening so that you can spend a night and have some rest before embarking on the trip. This will also help us to have some time for a safari briefing. On the last day, that is on 16th Jan, you will be expected to be back in Nairobi at late afternoon between 2 pm - 3 pm. Yes there is an option of not to participate in goat sacrifice and blood tasting. You can visit the village (Masai Boma / manyatta) to learn the Maasai way of life as well as participate in their dance as shows.
