We will be there to pick you up at Kilimanjaro airport. After a short freshen-up we’ll begin our 2.5 hour journey to introduce you to the life of the Maasai at this ancient, mystical cultural site. We will be welcomed by the Maasai in their very special and impressive way. After some wonderful afternoon activities such as exploring the Mirror Caves, whilst trying to shoot a target with your own spear, you will retire to your basic clay house (we have added some Western essential amenities 😉 for a good nights rest.

After milking a cow, (our breakfast) we will go on a walk with a naturopathic guide and discover the medicinal plants of Maasai medicine. Here, you will gain a deep insight into the everyday life of the people.
After lunch, you will have the opportunity to dress up in authentic Maasai cloths. You will be given a traditional bucket, attached to a donkey and be sent off in search of water. You will enjoy your next glass of water with great gratitude.
In the afternoon, you and your donkey will be kitted up and released into the wilderness, setting off on your own adventure. Learn to make a fire without matches and cook your own food. You will sleep in a tent, under the African stars while a Maasai warrior watches over you.
Dinner and overnight stay: Maasai wilderness
After an early rise, you can experience the adventures of self-sufficiency again and walk to the next stop. Here, you will spend the day in the bush, making shoes from old tyres, collecting roots and herbs and making a delicious Maasai soup. To have a roof over your head, food in your stomach and a good sleep, you will have to endure a lot, but never fear, we are always close by!
