Just been reading about this and it seems to be mixed reviews, some people suggesting its a tourist trap whilst others do recommend it. Its optional with our TO, but does does 30$ per person, as well as probably purchasing items from there too. What actually happens here? Tour of the tribe camp? Masai Dance? Thanks

Olpopongi Maasai Cultural Village Kenya
Masai Mara Tribe Village, worth it or tourist trap?
Dive into the heart of Kenya's Masai Mara with our vibrant cultural immersion experience! Engage in authentic Masai traditions, including insightful camp tours and mesmerizing traditional dances. However, weigh the $30/person fee plus potential purchases against mixed reviews; some find it enriching, others question its authenticity as a tourist attraction.
