Day 2: Be happy and enjoy the local traditions

Submerge yourself in the pure life and tradition of the Maasai Warriors and enjoy a full day of astonishment, connection and lots of fun with the Maasai. You can go for a nature walk with an explanation about traditional herbs and get answers to all your questions. How is the division between men and women? Is it true that a man has more than one wife? And how does this look like in daily life? Why do you see young boys walking the cattle, why are they not in school? How do they survive from eating meat, milk and blood only? You can spend the afternoon at the swimming pool with magnificent views or choose one of the many optional activities, such as a donkey ride or visit to the nearby Maasai Boma. At the end of the day, you will be invited to join the spear-throwing competition and a great Sundowner with Maasai singing and dancing on top of a hill with views of the Kilimanjaro and chat with the Maasai at the campfire.
