Detailed itinerary Day
1: Overnight in Heron Hotel. Day
2: Overnight in the camp*. Day
3: Day 4:
In the morning after breakfast, you’ll be taken to a nearby village called Madji Moto (Hot Waters) situated at the footstep of Loita Hills. There, you will pitch camp in close proximity to this small Maasai community using the local hot springs as your shower. You will spend the afternoon accompanied by experienced safari guides and Maasai warriors walking around the hills, observing the animals and learning from local people about life in the wilderness. You can herd cattle and bead jewellery with Maasai women and fill the evenings with their stories by the fire. The Maasai are the most well-known tribe in Kenya and Tanzania mostly because their traditional life has remained the same for centuries. They settled in Kenya in the 17th century, migrating from Ethiopia and Sudan. They belong to the Nilotic language group, and their culture is totally based upon their cattle. In Masai Mara, they found plenty of space for their cows to graze while sharing the endless savannah with the wildlife. They have a reputation for being fearless warriors, and you will see young boys walking with their cattle among zebras and other plains animals, armed with spears, bows and arrows to protect their animals from lions, leopards or hyenas. They wear very colourful clothes, mostly red in colour, which is believed to protect them from lion attacks. They are polygamous, and the women’s jobs are to take care for the children, build houses from mud, and milk the cows. They also make unique, colourful beadwork. All meals and overnight at the camp*. Day 5 - 9: This day will start the trekking portion of your expedition. All the necessary equipment will be carried by the experienced Maasai porters; but in case of overload, we will use donkeys also. Your five day trek over Maasai land will be accompanied by real Maasai warriors, known as “morani.” The path will lead you far from other tourists. You will walk across open savannas, tick bush and high hils. You will cross rivers and descend across the Ngurman escarpement to the bottom of the Great Rift Valley until Lake Magadi. On the way, you will meet local people and have many opportunities to learn more about their culture and the relationship they share with the wilderness which surrounds them. With the exception of buffalo and eland, wild meat is taboo in Maasai culture. Because of that, the Maasai are not hunters actually; in fact their cattle share the pastures with the wild animals. The only enemies for the Maasai people are the lion and the leopard because the calves of their domesticated animals are easy prey for these cats. With respect for all animals, the Maasai kill only the ones which are serious threats to their livestock. You will camp in complete wilderness, sometimes where nature will give you natural springs to wash in. Security in the camp is taken care of by the “morani” while for your comfort, our safari staff will be traveling with you. The safari cook will prepare delicious food, leaving you wondering how he can manage to do so in only a couple pots on an open fire. Your last night will be spent in a small local hotel in Ngurman Town near Lake Magadi. Day 10: Day
