Daily Breakdown
Nairobi: Arrive in Nairobi. Meet & Greet at the airport and transfer to your hotel for overnight stay.
Masai Mara (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 continue their treetop journey. Gazing down on the plains, it’s easy to spot gazelles and impalas 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.
