Masai Mara National Reserve
After an exhausting day of non-stop safari with a variety of wild animals in the Maasai Mara Reserve we were scheduled for a special visit to the traditional village at the local town named Talek. This Kenyan tribe was the most “tourist savvy”. They obviously had a lot of visitors regularly, because of the proximity of the popular park with “five cats”. We were even offered two types of visit packages, “basic”, originally covered in the travel packet, and “deluxe” with traditional goat grilling and bull bleeding ceremony. Since we were with a larger group of 12 people we had to comply with the majority and went with the deluxe package. It was raining, but locals did not seem to be affected by the weather at all. We got split into two groups to make guiding more manageable.
