Kenya - Maasai Lands
Visit a beautiful private conservation area adjacent to the Amboseli National Park where you will walk with the Maasai and dine under the stars.

Your visit is followed by three nights in Kenya`s premier game reserve, the Maasai Mara. Watch the yearly migration of wildlife from the Serengeti to the Mara from the comfort of your vehicle or treat yourself to a sunrise balloon trip for an aerial view. A wildlife enthusiast`s dream trip...
Suggested Itinerary
Day 1: Selenkay Conservancy, Amboseli NP
Leaving Nairobi, this morning you will drive south and east from the capital heading directly towards the highest peak in Africa. Your destination is the Selenkay Conservancy, a 15,000 acre private game reserve within a vast tract of land owned by the Kisonko clan of the Maasai people. Following afternoon tea, you will be escorted on a walk by Maasai warriors to a village to get an insight into their fascinating culture and way of life. Return to camp to freshen up and enjoy dinner under the Big African Night Sky!
Day 2: Amboseli National Park
Awake early to the calls of the bush, and after breakfast, drive through the bush on a private track into the Amboseli National Park for a full morning of game viewing. Following a picnic lunch in the park, return to camp later in the afternoon. In the evening you will go on a game drive in Conservancy, stopping for a sundowner at a scenic viewpoint, followed by a night game drive to look for nocturnal animals such as aardvarks, serval cats, caracals, bat-eared foxes, African wild cats, and other species.
Day 3: Maasai Mara Game Reserve
Awaking to the natural calls of the bush, this morning you will transfer back to Nairobi for lunch at the famous Carnivore restaurant. An afternoon flight will bring you to "The Mara", and you will transfer to your private camp in the Ol Kinyei Conservancy. This is 8,500 acres of the most beautiful wilderness in the Serengeti- Mara ecosystem. Enjoy an afternoon game drive, sundowners on the reserve and then a night game drive back to camp in time for dinner.

How This Tour Benefits The Local Community:
The local Maasai communities have set aside the Selenkay, Ol Kinyei and Olare Orok Conservancies as reserves for wildlife and in return are receiving an income from tourism activities. This is used to fund community projects such as schools and water supplies. The local community receives rent for the lease of the area, plus an entry fee from each visitor. All roads have been constructed using local labour and local game scouts have been employed to patrol the area ensuring the protection of wildlife.
Employment opportunities have also been provided for the local Maasai people as game rangers, trackers, and camp staff. Apart from the manager, head guide and head chef, all other staff in the camps and conservancies are members of the local Maasai communities.
