We had an a very good experience. Our guide Mpemba picked us up at our hotel in Arusha and was very friendly. In the car he told us about Maasai and recommended to buy a gift for them, so we bought cookies for the Maasai children. The Maasai people were very welcoming and it was an amazing experience, the only minus is that we felt very obligated to buy souvenirs. Nevertheless, it was unforgettable, especially the dancing and jumping with the people and handing out the cookies to the kids, they were so happy.
After a great lunch (where we got to choose between like 10 different options) we went to the Chemka hot springs. The hot-springs were very beautiful and calm. We went on monday, so it is not as crowded as in the weekends. The water was very clear and nice and after about 1.5 hour of swimming we were done and Mpemba drove us back to our hotel.
