Thigiri Ridge

We enjoyed a quiet morning with Esme. K and M were due to return in the early afternoon. They duly arrived at 2pm and advised that their safari had been spectacular. They saw a group of lions on the prowl, stalking buffalo, the effort spoiled by their exuberant cubs joining the action. They were also able to see a leopard with her cub up a tree with their prey.
After lunch K and A walked round to the Village Market, a modern shopping mall not far from Thigiri Ridge. The mall hosts a Maasai market in the carpark every Friday.
On our walk we passed by the road side enterprises, which sell all manner of things, from small curios through to hand made furniture, beds and cupboards etc..
The Maasai market was everything we expected it to be, very colourful and vibrant. The stall holders were quick to engage you in conversation, in the hope of encouraging you to buy their wares. We bought some curio items after a bit of bartering (we did quite well and everyone was happy.)
It is a very happy market, if a bit in your face, and we escaped to have a look around the very modern Carrefour Supermarket in the main mall.Baca lagi
