Kilgoris, in the Trans Mara region on the Maasai Mara's western edge, offers an alternative, considerably less-visited approach to the Mara region covered extensively elsewhere on this blog, maintaining a genuine local evening bar scene shared between Maasai and Kipsigis communities settled in this transitional area between the Rift Valley highlands and the Mara's open plains.
The town's evening social scene reflects this cultural blending, with a mix of pastoralist Maasai and highland Kipsigis community members contributing to a genuinely distinctive local social character found in relatively few other Kenyan towns.
