Game drives and Masais part 2

Last day in the Mara

Woke up by ourselves this time for an early peaceful breakfast without any rush. We then packed our bags so that we would be ready to check out when we returned from the visit to a Masai village that was the activity for the day.

It was a bit touristy but still seeing the Masais dance was quite cool and their outfits were just extraordinary. We got to, in small groups, take a seat in the Masai houses/huts. All Masai buildings are made by the women since it is their task and can take up to 5 years to build. Completely made from logs and cow dung with tiny rooms inside and no windows they are very warm and very dark inside. We could see nothing when we entered but thanks to flashes from our cameras we could make out at least a bit how the rooms looked. 5 people lived in the hut I visited, 5 people in a room much smaller than the wardrobe under our stairs at home.

Got back, said goodbye to the amazing camp, shoved ourselves into the car and started the bumpy ride back.
