In the arid North of Kenya, water
means life. The waters of the great

great numbers to its banks, creating
an oasis of green. This is
spectacular country, set against a
backdrop of the mighty Mountain Ol
Olokwe. The Samburu region is the
best place to find several endemic
Northern species, including Gerenuk,
the Reticulated Giraffe, and Grevy’s
Zebra.
Exploring the hills takes the
trekker through deep forested
valleys and across high open plains,
rich with bird and animal life. But
what makes treks through these hills
so special is the resident Samburu
tribes. Walking with a Samburu
guide, you can pass through many
small villages, meet the locals,
walk the plains with cattle herders
and lone warriors or be invited to
spend a night in a Samburu home.
This gives you the chance to
experience a very different way of
life. The entire Samburu region is a
place of breathtaking and magical
beauty, a place where the vision of
a deep red sunset silhouetting the
doum palms along the river as a
leopard emerges to hunt brings the
perfect end to a day on safari.....

herding, tribe who also fish. Among

Maasai, eating fish is a taboo. The
129 sq km lake is well stocked with
fish, and attracts many Pelicans,
Cormorants and Fish Eagles. The Lake

Crocodile. The lake itself is truly
beautiful, surrounded by volcanic
ranges that stretch as far as the
eye can see. At the lakes heart is

carpets the water, the flamingo are

the Lake shore. The park abounds
with game. There are huge herds of
waterbuck, zebra, buffalo, the
endangered Rothschild Giraffe and
more. This is one of your best

MARA SOPA LODGE / SEKENANI CAMP
(F/B).
South Western Kenya is the heartland
of the Maasai. The Maasai are a
strongly independent people who
still value tradition and ritual as
an integral part of their everyday
lives. They regard themselves not
just as residents of this area but
that they are as much a part of the
life of the land as the land is part
of their lives.
Traditionally, the Maasai rarely
hunt and living alongside wildlife
in harmony is an important part of
their beliefs. Lions and Wildebeest
play as important a role in their
cultural beliefs as their own herds
of cattle. This unique co-existence
of man and wildlife makes this
Maasai land one of the world’s most
unique wilderness regions.
Each year the Mara plays host to the
world’s greatest natural spectacle,
the Great Wildebeest Migration from
the Serengeti. From July to October,
the promise of rain and fresh life
giving grass in the north brings
more than 1.3 million Wildebeest
together into a single massive herd.
The Loita Hills and the Nguruman
Escarpment, both considered sacred
to the Maasai, offer high forest
trekking opportunities for the
adventurous traveller.....
Day 09: MAASAI MARA:
Early morning and late afternoon
game viewing drives in this Reserve,
