On our most recent trip to my birthplace, Kenya, my bf and I were invited to visit a Masai village. I have been around many Masai before, but never spent a whole day with them on their turf. It was a life changing experience. The way they have stayed true to who they are and the values they hold dear in a world that is ever changing is truly inspiring. It’s always a treat to be reminded that less is very often more: family and a sense of community is all we really need, and traditions are sacred, and worth fighting for. Oh, and a simple balloon or lolly is enough to make a child’s day!

May I join you on your next trip!

Thank you, Erin! Right back at ya!xo
Ohmygoodness! Is this at Campi Ya Kanzi in Kenya? My husband and I just returned from Africa three weeks ago. We spent the first week at Campi Ya Kanzi in the Chyulu Hills and the second week, mountain gorilla trekking in Rwanda – definitely a place to return to!
Thanks for sharing!
Wonderful photos… I have some paintings inspired by my trip to Kenya many years ago… love to show you…..
Thank you for sharing! All Americans should feel humbled by these photos. They have so little and are so happy.
God Bless them all.
