SAFARI, HIKING & PAMPERING YOURSELF IN BREATHTAKING SURROUNDINGS

On the first day you will head from the Masai Mara for the Loita Hills. After breakfast you leave the camp with game viewing en-route. A 3 hour drive through scenic rolling hills and past small villages will bring you into the heart of the Loita Hills.
A one hour walk through the beautiful highland scenery takes you to your fly camp where you will spend the first night. Enjoy the evening at the open fire under the incredible African sky, hear the sounds of the African bush at night. The staff ensure that you are well looked after and you are provided with cold drinks, freshly prepared meals at a well set fly camp with shower and toilet tents. You will sleep on a comfortable camp bed in a large dome tent.

Set out early the following morning together with your Masai Crew and your experienced guide and discover a stunning waterfall that plunges more than 200 meters into a natural pool surrounded by dense tropical vegetation. A three hour hike will bring you to the bottom of the waterfall – enjoy a refreshing swim - if you are adventurous – right under the waterfall.
On the third day, your trek leads through dense tropical forest and later through more open terrain. After about 6 hours you will get to a river where you spend the night in a fly camp.
On the fourth day, the day hike continues through beautiful forest before descending to the edge of the Nguruman escarpment from where you have great views of the Rift Valley far below. You can spend the afternoon swimming to cool off and exploring the bushes around the campsite. In the evening the crew may show you traditional Maasai songs and dances.

Accommodation: Private Bush Camps

Driving towards Lake Natron is an unforgettable experience in itself. Enjoy the spectacular views of the dramatic Rift Valley and you will have the sensation of driving to the centre of the earth ... while the air temperature gets hotter every minute and you glide through the arid and moonlike landscape of the Rift Valley escarpment, you come to think that this journey will never end - and you don't want it to end as it gives you an exhilirating sensation of freedom.

Beyond Magadi Town which has the atmosphere of a gold rush settlement the journey turns into a real adventure - the track is hardly visible any longer as so few cars pass through here, out of nowhere a group of Maasai jump in front of your vehicle asking for a ride and close to Lake Natron you have to either cross a lengthy stretch of tricky sand or a swamp where the water often spills over the hood of your car.Your stay in this part of the Rift Valley will add to the sensation of being at the end of the world - not quite incorrect as hardly anybody passes through this area except the local Maasai and the occasional shifter smuggling goods over to Tanzania. Sunrises over the dry Rift Valley are deeply moving moments and a sensation of peace and tranquility will eventually let all worries of the world seem far away.

Accommodation: Shompole

Enjoy a memorable last morning at Shompole, before driving or flying back to Nairobi, through or above the stunning Rift Valley.
