Walking with the Maasai

Experience the African bush uniquely coming to life with a guided walking safari in Mara Naboisho Conservancy. Experience first-hand how the Maasai possess a complete understanding of the savannah with this 4-night walking safari. The length and intensity of our walking safaris can be adjusted to suit guests’ preferences and fitness levels.

Day 1

Upon landing at Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, you will be met and transferred to Wilson Airport by our driver-guide for a scheduled flight to Masai Mara. Begin your safari adventure with a game drive in our open-sided 4 x 4 land cruiser. Explore the wildlife-rich Mara Naboisho Conservancy, a conservancy formed to protect the pristine wildlife area and safeguard the Mara ecosystem while providing a source of livelihood for the Maasai people. Arrive at Eagle View in time for lunch. After lunch, relax on the viewing deck or on your tent terrace as you watch the wildlife from an eagle’s perspective. At 4:00 pm meet your Masai guide for an afternoon game drive. Return to camp for dinner and overnight stay.

After a few hours of walking, enjoy a picnic lunch followed by relaxation till the temperatures cool. Arrive at the campsite which is surrounded by the whispering bush for dinner and overnight stay.
