“Poorly organised; driver was changed hours before start and could not find the village as he was not familiar with the area. Surprisingly (not really) the people in the people in the village did not receive the $30 additional fee which I was required to pay to the "guide". The experience was only given two stars as I felt embarrased that the Maasai women were put in a bad situation (it seemed they were not aware someone was coming and did their best to share their time). They were generous with sharing information regarding their culture.”
