HIGHLIGHTS
This district, the most remote and un toured part of Kenya’s Masailand is a stronghold of the most tradition-bound clans of the Masai, where you enjoy fabulous cultural experiences among these proud people. The Loitas area the clan, from which the Masai’s great Laibon (spiritual leaders) are drawn. The Masai are pastoral normads who have maintained the proud traditions of their unique way of life of tending herds of cattle and flocks of goats in the wild landsof Kenya. Masai men carry spears to protect their livestock from predators, while women tend houses and take care of domestic chores such as gathering firewood and fetching water. Their ochre-colored robes and bright jewelry testify to the living traditions of their culture. This is the opportunity to visit these interesting people in their own villages (manyattas) as they engage in the routines of daily life, an invitation into their homes should be a great experience.
Although animals in the Loita are shyer than those living in game parks, a wide variety of wildlife may be encountered: zebra, giraffe, bushbuck, hartebeest, gazelles, impala, monkeys, and baboons are the species that are abundantly seen. Accompanied on our walks by spear carrying Masai warriors you learn from them about this unusual ecosystem.
