Are you ready for an experience and an adventure you’ll never forget? Imagine the thrill of walking for days through the heart of one of East Africa’s great wilderness areas, camping under a million stars, pacing quietly past herds of zebra and accepting impromptu invitations to stop and drink tea in Maasai manyattas. This extraordinary journey will take you through a huge variety of landscapes and habitats, which are home to a long list of birds and animals. Beginning in the cool, jungle-like forests of the little known Loita Hills (also known as the Forest of the Lost Child), where birds and animals more closely associated with Central Africa can be found, we descend downward through tiny patchwork fields of maize and wheat, past small Maasai villages and farmsteads where a traditional lifestyle still clings on. Loosing still more altitude, we drop down into the hotter, drier grasslands where herds of zebra and giraffe warily watch us. But this is not just a natural world walking safari. This is an undiluted cultural safari into one of the remotest corners of Kenya where a traditional Maasai culture still exists.

Our expert, local walking guides know the area inside out, but yet, no journey here is ever the same. There are no nicely manicured and signed trails, no set route and we have no idea what we might find around the corner. But, what never changes is the total immersion into traditional Maasai culture and the sheer thrill of walking alongside megafauna. For anyone who wants to combine the thrill of long-distance hiking with stunning landscapes, superb wildlife and an unforgettable human dimension, then our seven-day Walking with the Maasai hike is the kind of adventure that you will one day recount to your grandchildren.
