Masai Village

While staying at the Mara Safari Lodge we also had an opportunity to go and visit a nearby Masai village. As soon as we stepped through the entrance to the village we were greeted by a wonderfully friendly little boy that followed us around for the duration. We watched the masai men do their jumping dance to the sound of their low, hypnotic song(amazing to watch), while the women sang the accompanyment. They were nice enough to let me make a fool of myself and jump with them. We toured one of the hutments, talked with the 'chief', played with the children, and wrapped things up with a visit to their market.
