Day 16 We're staying at Arusha Serena Hotel and Resort Spa. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g297913-d304446-Reviews-Arusha_Serena_H... https://www.tripadvisor.com/AttractionProductReview-g297913-d15883436-Miracle_Ex... As dawn breaks over the horizon, you serenely drift over the magnificent marvel of nature, The Serengeti, enjoying an eagle’s eye view of the wildlife theatre as it unfolds below you. You will have ample opportunities to spot wildlife from a different perspective. If you are fortunate, you might be able to spot the Big Five: Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Buffalo, and Rhino, as well as giraffe, zebra, hippo, crocodile and a variety of birdlife. Your game viewing opportunities from the sky are endless. Following the flight, you will celebrate with sparkling wine and a splendid bush breakfast in the middle of the Serengeti, capping off what is sure to be your most memorable morning in the skies of Africa. In the afternoon we'll be enjoying some of the awesome amenities at our hotel before we head out for our next adventure. With the help of local Maasai Mama's we will be guided through a number of traditional Swahili recipes to prepare your own lunch. We will learn how the local Mama's prepare food at home using traditional cooking equipment and methods. We will learn some Swahili words for different foods and be able to get hands-on help to prepare each dish. We will learn about how Maasai build their homes and how traditional Maasai homes are set up in a "boma". We will see inside the homes and how they live. We will learn how Maasai create their own beaded jewelry and go away from the workshop with your very own bracelet. Vegetarian, gluten free and dairy free options can be catered for in the recipes. We're cooking our dinner and learning how to make beaded jewelry together. How cool is that? Can't wait to hear your thoughts. https://www.tripadvisor.com/AttractionProductReview-g297913-d19076562-Swahili_Co... BCoF short prompt: What can you tell us about Maasai jewelry making?
