Adventure Tours with the Maasai! ACTIVITIES DAILY SAFARI NATURE WALK WITH MAASAI WARRIORS Mornings typically begin with a bush walking safari lead by the Maasai warriors. You are most likely to meet giraffes, zebra, wildebeest, eland, Kudu, warthogs, gazelles, impala, and over 400 species of birds that roam freely in the area. The Maasai know this land in a way no one else does and the warriors will interpret everything from footprints, animal droppings, animal noises, herbal medicine, and more. Returning from the hike, we’ll enjoy breakfast together. VILLAGE TOUR Shortly after breakfast we’ll emerge ourselves into the villages. This is your chance to meet and interact with village women and elders. See what a traditional corral looks like and learn how the family social structure works in a traditional Maasai village.
