One of my (and my groups’) favourite things we do on the Rock My Kenya & Tanzania Adventure tour is spending time in my friends’ Maasai village.

I’ve been visiting the village for the last 8 years and in that time have made some great friends and learned a lot about Maasai culture and I love sharing this experience with the groups.

We do all the usual activities like making fire, singing and Maasai jumping, but we also get to do other things like hanging out and chatting around the campfire, having a cuppa at one of their houses and once we even got invited to a 21st birthday party in the village… that was fun! 🎉

I’ve visited many Maasai villages in my time and sometimes the experience isn’t very nice for either the local people or the tourists. It can often feel voyeuristic, inauthentic and uncomfortable, so it’s important to do your research in order to visit a village that a) really want you there and b) where you will get the opportunity for a cultural exchange - not just a drive-by photo opportunity.

On the @rockmyadventure tours, it’s super important to me to ensure that our interactions with local people, especially tribespeople are ethical, non-exploitative and fun for everyone involved. I’ve written about this in more detail on my blog if you want to know more!

An incredible morning hot-air ballooning over the Masai Mara, followed by a champagne breakfast in the bush! 🥂

On the way back to camp, we also got a bonus safari, seeing a young male lion with a kill (poor giraffe) and ‘The Coalition’ again.

Bush Life ❤️ Absolutely loved our bush camp set up by my wonderful friends @kobifarmkenya - the team were/are amazing and we had so much fun with you guys, as always! Dancing and jumping around the fire with the Maasai, toasting marshmallows, making s’mores, comfortable camping, having bbq’s and bush picnics, drinking Amarula, eating all the food and showering under the stars. Magical! 💫

One of the best days I’ve ever had on safari in the Masai Mara or anywhere else in Africa!

We saw all the big cats, including a leopard who was fishing and a famous group of cheetahs known as ‘the coalition’ on the hunt!

There were 5, brothers in arms, until one went off with a lady cheetah. When he returned - the others killed him.

What’s even sadder, is that a few days ago, one of the remaining 4 was killed - it’s thought by either a lion or a crocodile. Circle of life… 😭

Our guides, my friends, Mike and Geoffrey from @kobifarmkenya went above and beyond to give us the most incredible safari. Asante! 🥰

We spent our first full day on the Rock My Kenya & Tanzania Adventure hanging out with my friends @nai.nami doing a tour of downtown Nairobi! One of my top experiences in the city!

We also visited the baby elephants at the @sheldricktrust and the Rothschild giraffes @giraffecentre_ - think it was fair to say that everyone enjoyed Nairobi!
