David learned that Shane liked beer while we were sitting in a restaurant near the Masai Market, enjoying beer. (David had a soda.) Shane asked a few questions about the local alcohol and specifically about mbege (banana beer). David asked if he wanted to try it and Shane responded, “yes, if we can find it.” David told us we could probably get it in his village. I didn’t realize he was serious. That afternoon on our way to Plantation Lodge we stopped at the “bar” in David’s village where he bought Shane mbege. The locals thought it was funny and Shane and I loved it – not the beer as much as the experience. David knew the brewer and so we were given a tour of how he made it. Shane brews his own beer so the entire experience was not only a learning experience but was so amazing to us. Many thanks to David!
“Our trip was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Our guide, Danny, far exceeded our expectations. The only creatures we didn’t see were dragons and unicorns and that’s only because we didn’t request them explicitly. We were taken well care of by Casey, Danny, and the staff at each camp we stayed at. I would highly recommend A2T to anyone planning a safari to east Africa.”
