DETAILED ITINERARY
Days 1 – 3: Maasai Hiking Trails in the Loita Hills
The Loita Hills are one of Africa’s last true remaining wildernesses. This region is virtually unexplored and offers a rare glimpse of a world that remains untouched by the human hand. Rolling green hills extend beyond the horizon, many of them covered in rich indigenous forest. Wildebeest and zebra roam across the savannah, always keeping two eyes open for the leopards that stealthily hide in the woodland. Black and white Colobus monkeys playfully swing through the trees, mischievously munching on fruit and then continuing their treetop journey. Gazing down on the plains, it’s easy to spot gazelle and impala dotted along the horizon.
These hills have a rich Maasai history and offer an opportunity for a once-in-a-lifetime cultural interaction. The Maasai have continued to practice the traditional beliefs that have been passed down for many generations while also tackling the challenges of interactions with western traditions. Each day is spent exploring ancient Maasai trails with your experienced guides. All the walks are tailored to suit your interests and capabilities, taking you deep into remote African bush that is home to many of nature’s most spectacular animals.
Included: all meals and drinks, all park entry fees, walking safaris with Maasai guides
Days 4-6 – Unforgettable Maasai Mara Safari Experience
After your hiking experience, head to the Maasai Mara, the traditional home of the Maasai tribe. This is arguably the world’s most spectacular wildlife reserve. The grass plains extend beyond the horizon, rocky outcroppings provide a haven for watchful lion prides, while two million sets of hooves arrive here every July to November as part of the Great Migration.
And what nature there is to explore! Great numbers of elephant’s roam with abandon, cute babies and youngsters indicating the health of their herd. Hairy buffalo stand impassively, their great curled horns suggesting their age and social standing. During the Great Migration, hooves kick up dust and the grass becomes hidden beneath a patchwork quilt of zebra, wildebeest and Thompson’s gazelle. At all times of year, the number of animals here is staggering. Cheetahs sprint across the plains, seeking out youngsters separated from the herd. Spotted hyena has a charm that defies their portrayal in popular fiction like the Lion King. A large lion yawns beneath a tree, showing off ferocious teeth as the women from the pride go out hunting. These three days will show you nature like you’ve never seen it before.
Included: all meals, park entry fees, wildlife viewing by 4×4 open roof vehicle at day and night, walking safari, riding safari
