Want to Start Planning your Safari?
All my expectations were met to the absolute fullest extent!
I will go home a better person than when I left. The Maasai bomas were so inspirational that I am considering spending some time hopefully living in one some day. Both visiting the Maasai people and meeting the kids from all the schools we worked at will serve as major inspirations to me throughout life. Every single staff person with Terrawatu and People to People Safaris that I have met is an overall amazing person. I have all their emails and plan on keeping in touch with them.
