We are one of a very small number of companies to have formed a partnership with the Maasai in Loliondo and to be given permission to set up our camp here. 

We've been working with them now for more than 20 years, so while we still find each other fascinating, we also know each other quite well by now.

The time we spend with the Maasai is very much about getting a view of everyday Maasai life;  we don't ask for anything to be laid on for our guests and our guests don't expect this.

What this gives, is an opportunity for questions (as many answered as asked) and a chance to

get the smallest glimpse of what nomadic life this wild part of Africa really entails.

Take a walk with one of our Maasai guides or spend time at one of the manyattas and the thing that becomes apparent is the degree to which every facet of their lives bears the imprint of the environment in which they live. 

Manyattas are constructed using the raw materials available, cow dung and thorn bushes to keep predators away from the cattle within (still a very real risk).  Morani decorate themselves using cow fat and ochre dug from the ground. 

And the red shukas stand out vividly against the colours of the landscape, the perfect clothing in which to remain visible in a vast landscape.
