6 DAYS LOITA

6 DAYS LOITA (MAJI MOTO-NGURUMAN)

This is an eco-tourism related programme for those in search of adventure while on foot and coming face to face with plains and game and the Maasai people.

Day 1: Depart Nairobi and passing through the Rift Valley to Narok Town. After half hours drive from here you will be dropped at Maji Moto. (A Swahili word meaning hot water). Proceed on the Ndarara Manyattas for lunch. Walk for 1 ½ hrs – 2 hours to Ndarara camp as you assist your guide (s) with pitching them up).

Day 2: After breakfast leave Ndarara to Letukunyi, this walk will take you 5-6 hours through the scattered bushes. Dinner and overnight at Letukunyi.

Day 3: Depart Letukunyi early enough before the sum is too hot and pass to Narosora for lunch or purchase what might be out of stock. After some time with the Maasai in this modern Maasai town, proceed to Morinjo for dinner and overnight in a selected area.

Day 4: Leave Morinjo and walk through the forest (this is one of the few remaining true forestry wilderness area in East Africa). This walk takes you 5- 6 hours. Dinner and overnight at Enkutuo camp.

Day 5: We have two options;

(i) Leave Enkutuo and pass along the left side of the Rift Valley via the Nguruman Escarpment to Nguruman Town for Dinner and Overnight at a local hotel.
(ii) Or leave Enkutuo not too early, walk leisurely for 4-5 hrs to Njoroi Campsite for dinner and overnight. This camp has an excellent view of the surrounding area, which includes Lake Magadi, Ngong Hills, and Lake Natron in Tanzania on a clear day.

Day 6: After breakfast descend down the escarpment and through small farms to Nguruman Town for your journey back to Nairobi via Lake Magadi and Olgasaile Prehistoric sites sand arrive in Nairobi late afternoon.
