1430 -1700hrs: Visit the Bomas of Kenya, Bomas interpreted to mean (homesteads) displays traditional villages belonging to the several Kenyan tribes. The highlight, however, is the performance. The dancers explode into the arena with the sounds of pounding drums, executing a Kalenjin warrior dance. This is followed by Embu drumming and Swahili taarab music, sending the performers swirling into new rhythms. Acrobats leap onto the floor in a dazzling display of gymnastics and the entire program combusts in a grand finale with fire, music and song.
On the grounds of the Bomas you can visit the various “villages” of the different ethnic groups and compare their construction styles and organization.
One group’s culture will show off hierarchies – a first wife’s hut, then a second wife’s hut, etc.
At another homestead the placement of granaries will highlight the status of different family members. Keep an eye out for various room partitioning methods and decorations to signify villagers’ responsibilities and status.
1700hrs: Drive to Carnivore Restaurant for early dinner. The Carnivore doesn't conform to the familiar restaurant traditions. First, the soup of the day along with a plate of home-baked brown bread and butter are served. Then, an army of carvers moves table to table, swords laden carving juicy cuts onto sizzling cast-iron plates. Accompanying the meat feast is a selection of salads, vegetable side dishes, and sauces
The feeding frenzy doesn't stop until you declare defeat by lowering the white paper flag perched atop the central tray. This is then followed by dessert and coffee. The full meal including the soup course is at a set price. A vegetarian menu is also offered.
You will then be transferred to your hotel.
