Walking with the Masai

Itinerary

Day 1 Nairobi

See this cosmopolitan capital.

Day 2 Lake Naivasha

Try wildlife spotting from a different perspective, approaching game on foot like a tribesman on Crescent Island, the impressive rim of a crater submerged in Lake Naivasha.

Day 3 Hell's Gate National Park

With luck, rare leopards and baboons might be seen while walking beneath the craggy columns and towering cliffs in this peaceful park.

Day 4 Mount Longonot

Lace up your sturdiest boots - the climb to the scenic summit of Mt Longonot is challenging but the panorama from the top makes it well worth it.

Days 5-6 Masai Mara

Experience the best of the African savannah on game drives through the Masai Mara, which teems with the country's most iconic wildlife.

Day 7 Walking in the Masai Mara

Wander through Masai villages and be humbled by the simple lifestyles of this ancient warrior tribe.

Day 8 Maji Moto to Olorien

It's a challenging trek to Maji Moto, where steamy springs in the foothills will cook an egg in a matter of minutes.

Day 9 Olorien to Naro Osura

Pass a salt lake on today's long hike, where strikingly tall, graceful Masai men group their precious cattle along the shores.

Days 10-11 Naro Osura to Entasopia

Traverse the emerald fields of the Entasopia Valley and walk along mountain ridges before pitching tents on the picturesque Entasopia River.

Day 12 Entasopia Valley to Kalema/Nairobi

Clamber up the forested slopes of the Nguruman Escarpment for breathtaking views of the Great Rift Valley. Have a good last look before returning to civilisation.
