After breakfast you will start the day with a cultural visit to a local Maasai village in Mikumi. If time allows, we’ll pass by the local women’s market. The Maasai are a popular traditional tribe in Tanzania and Kenya. This trip is optional so those rushing to make the journey back to Zanzibar can opt out of this cultural visit. Afterwards you will start your journey back to Dar-es-Salaam. You will arrive back before dark where you will be dropped off at the hotel of your choice.
