From Nairobi, drive into the rural Maasai heartland where one of the elders will take you
on a tour to explain how the Maasai manage these precious lands. You learn about
their tribal values, native herbs that are used for medicinal remedies, also their natural resources
like land and water, and help herd the cattle, which is their most sacred and
treasured possession. A warm song and dance welcome awaits you at the village, and the
wife of a village elder will offer to dress you in traditional Maasai Shaka

learn their skills of constructing a new manyatta. Time for lunch when you join the
