We had the opportunity to go to a place called "Bomas" which is a combination of villages built to show people the different life style of the most common tribes here in Kenya.
If you go at the right time 3:00-5:00 they have people in each village to tell you about their culture and food. We went at 11:00 so we missed out but plan to go back and have dinner and see some native dancing.

| Huts were made from mud, dung, and sticks with grass weavings for a roof. Some tribes would decorate them. |

| Just had to show you the huge avocados here. The only trouble is. . .they ripen all at the same time. |
