Maitai has been lucky enough to go to school with her younger sister, but every morning when she wakes up she thinks with horror what awaits her. You will have to walk 5 kilometers, leave before dawn and pass through the Masai Mara reserve that is full of wildlife
The natural reserve of the Masai Mara is situated in the south-western part of Kenya. It is a continuation of the national Serengeti Park of Tanzania. Water in these areas is a basic resource of limited availability
