点评:We got the opportunity to enjoy a couple of days with a Maasai family and what an amazing experience it was. Much better than we could have imagined and we feel very privileged to live as part of the family for two days.
Everybody was so friendly. We took part in many aspects of their life. The children were a joy and helped break down the barriers with our two boys who had an amazing time without the modern distractions they have at home.
Special mention must go to Nathan, our guide. I think he is the best guide we have ever had. He is full of enthusiasm and desperate to share his knowledge of the Masai culture, for which he is very proud. He is clearly well liked by his community which helped to break down any barriers. He seemed to have an instinct for how much to push and involve us. He realised our interest in wildlife and subsequently shared his deep knowledge of the plants and wildlife around the boma.
Peter the cook was also superb in looking after us. He worked very hard over our stay, providing us with delicious food with a limited kitchen!
The whole stay was very thought provoking and is still at the front of our minds now we are back at home.
We had a unique experience and wish the Masai family the best of luck in the future. Some change seems inevitable for them in future. I hope it is postive for them and any interaction with us Mzungus continues to be limited and sensitive
翻译:我们有幸能与一个马赛家庭共度了几天时光,那真是一次奇妙的体验。这比我们预想的还要美好,能作为这个家庭的一员生活两天,我们深感幸运。
这里的每个人都非常友善。我们参与了他们生活的方方面面。那些孩子可爱极了,他们帮助我们两个儿子快速融入了集体;两个孩子尽情玩乐,完全摆脱了平时在家时那些现代事物的干扰。
特别要提一下我们的导游内森。我认为他是我们遇到过的最出色的向导。他满怀热情,迫切希望把自己引以为傲的马赛文化知识分享给我们。很明显,他很受当地社区的欢迎,这也有助于消除我们之间的隔阂。他似乎很懂得该如何引导我们、让我们积极参与其中。他察觉到我们对野生动物的兴趣,于是便向我们传授了关于营地周边植物及野生动物的丰富知识。
厨师彼得也照顾得无微不至,十分出色。在我们逗留期间,他辛勤工作,在厨房条件有限的情况下仍为我们准备了美味的食物!
整个旅程发人深省,如今我们已回到家中,那段经历仍历历在目、萦绕心头。
我们拥有一段难得的体验,祝愿马赛一家未来一切顺利。将来他们似乎难免会经历一些变化,我希望这些变化对他们而言是积极的。同时,也希望他们与我们这些外来者之间的互动能继续保持适度且得体。
