Enjoy a visit to a traditional Maasai Village and discover their “way of life” as it was a hundred years ago and still is today. The Maasai are an old nomadic tribe that lives in harmony with nature and is one of the few remaining tribes in Kenya that tends to hold on to their traditions. Your guide will transfer you to/from the village.

Please note that we support the local community in the area with this village visit as most proceeds will go to them directly. Ask the Manager for more information and how to book.

As part of Soroi Luxury Migration Camp's commitment to conservation and sustainability, we are actively fighting deforestation in the Mara ecosystem. We invite guests to take a hands-on approach and participate in this activity, which is suitable for young and old. The cost is for the purchasing of endemic trees.

The Trust is located right on the edge of the Maasai Mara National Reserve in the little town of Sekenani. The Olmalaika Home - is a safe haven for girls under the age of 12 yrs all the way down to newborns that have endured trauma in their lives, such as female genital mutilation, childhood marriage, rape, incest, assault, abuse, abandonment, etc. The Trust not only provides a safe and loving home where they can find healing but also enables them to get their education.

On weekends and holidays, you can visit the home and spend time with the girls, listen to them sing and dance, participate in a typical "day of the girl child" where you might wash clothes in the river, make chapatis, drink some tea made over the fire in their traditional manyatta or simply allow them to teach you how to make a beaded bracelet to take home. On weekdays, when they are in school, you can visit the home and meet the staff, play or feed the babies, hear about the girl's stories, and possibly sample some fresh fruit or vegetables from their garden. The Trust is dependent on donations but is working on becoming self-sustaining by harvesting and selling honey from their own hives and through the Olmalaika Trust Days for Girls Enterprise - where the staff makes fabric reusable menstrual kits. Each kit purchased is given to school girls in Kenya so that no girl will miss school because of her period.

An exciting adventure awaits the young ones at Mara Bush Camp with various activities conducted by our Maasai guide and our Camp Manager. The children will have a rare opportunity to learn the Maasai ways of life and their daily chores such as cooking African food, the art of stringing real Maasai beads, playing typical board games, listening to African stories, reading Children story books available in both English & German as well as playing with African toys. Parents are encouraged to discuss the activities beforehand with our Camp Manager.

Enjoy a full or half day discovering the different animals and plants of the Tsavo West eco-system in the company of your guide and tracker, who will be sure to follow the route that offers the best wildlife viewing. With warm temperatures during the afternoon, the animals are most active in the early morning; we, therefore, suggest you get an early start with a mid-morning picnic breakfast on the LUMO plains. Head back to the lodge for lunch and a siesta, or continue your day game spotting after a traditional bush lunch under a tree.

Ideally, a bush walk or an early morning game drive culminates in the best meal of the day being enhanced by being served under a tree, enjoying one of our many stunning views within the Sanctuary. Fresh fruit, juice, tea, and coffee and a cooked breakfast to your requirements will be freshly prepared under a nearby tree, while you relax and soak up the atmosphere of the bush through which you have just meandered.

Discover the flora and fauna of the LUMO sanctuary while on foot. Nature walks around the lodge are especially interesting to children, guided by a ranger and our resident Taita naturalist, meander around Lions Bluff and discover tracks and signs of the bush. Learn which roots and leaves are edible, which are used by the local people to treat tummy aches or put spells on your enemies. Examine spider nests, collect quartz rock, or leaves to make a refreshing tea. Identify birds by their call and watch them in the bush.

With over 1,070 species of birds, Kenya has the second-highest country bird list in Africa, while the area around Tsavo West boasts 600 recorded species. Ranging from giant herons to tiny sunbirds, the diversity of African bird life is startling in its color and vibrancy. Additionally, the Lions Bluff area boasts a number of endemic species, such as the globally threatened Taita Thrush, Taita White-eye, Taita Apalis, Abbott's starling, and the Southern Banded Snake Eagle.

For the amateur and serious ornithologist alike, we offer a range of half or full-day outings that can be custom-tailored to the interests of your ornithological party. The services of a professional ranger and up-to-date bird checklists are included, and picnics, bush lunches, camp suppers, and sundowners can be scheduled to suit your needs.

As part of our extensive eco-interface, we offer cultural visits to local villages.

Our visitors are invited to enter a typical ethnic home, watch a dance display, or beading and handicrafts being done. You will have the opportunity to see how the farmers manage diverse crops such as dry land beans, and Aloe Vera plants, and pastoral activity, such as cattle and goat maintenance. Often they will also be invited to purchase locally-made items- much more authentic than those available in the usual gift shops.

If you are ready to go further you can be driven to Wundanyi, about an hour and a half from Lions Bluff, to explore the skull caves. The caves are collapsing but the skulls remain; the youngest dates back to the 1920s. Nearby one can visit the small waterfalls and enjoy the beautiful landscape dubbed 'Little Switzerland' because of its stunning hilly terrain and breathtaking views.

Drive an extra half hour to reach Ngang'ao forest, an untouched rainforest where one can be guided through thick, dripping vegetation in the hope of seeing rare birds and butterflies which only exist here.

Mzima Springs are a series of four natural springs in Tsavo National Park, that produces an incredible 250 million litres of fresh water a day. The source of the spring rises in the Chyulu Hills and provides the bulk of Mombasa’s fresh water. The springs are resident to hippos, Nile crocodiles, and a wide variety of birdlife. There’s an underwater viewing chamber, where you can see the fish, in the clear waters. ‘Shetani’ means ‘devil’ in Kiswahili. The flows were formed a few hundred years ago. The local people believe that it was the devil himself emerging from the earth. This vast expanse of folded black lava spreads for 50 kilometers across the savannah near the Chyulu Hills. The last major eruption here is believed to have taken place around 200 years ago. Nearby are the Shetani Caves, which are also the result of volcanic activity. Picnic lunch included. Park fees are payable direct and not included.

Enjoy a Sunset Safari, where the boundaries between day and night blur, and nature's spectacle unfolds before your eyes. From 5 PM to 8 PM, this journey will take you through the wilderness with an expert guide and spotter, allowing you to witness the transition from golden dusk to velvet darkness.

Around 6:30 PM, the Safari pauses at a strategic spot for a Sundowner, inviting you to toast to the breathtaking sunset. As twilight gives way to night, a spotlight reveals the hidden world of nocturnal creatures, from prowling predators to elusive night birds. With each sighting, you're immersed deeper into the magic of the wild.

Selected drinks included.
