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!
“Casey did a marvelous job of setting up our accommodations and travels. I was pleasantly surprised by the high level of comfort and selection of food in all our stays. We were also well advised through the videos about the countries and things to expect. I am very happy and satisfied with the planning of the trip.”
