The village walk starts from the Lodge gates towards the village of Kibuweni - this is about a 20 to 30 minute walk. During the walk you will be introduced to the surrounding area by stopping at the main bore hole where villagers get their daily water supplies, a sunflower plantation and a dried river bed. This is home to many different types of animals and plants - many of these plants are used in local medication. You will pass a local farm that has livestock with which you can interact with whilst on the walk.

Many different farms are passed along the way and you will be exposed to the lifestyle of the locals. Finally we reach the village of Kibuweni and are welcomed by dancers and the Village Elders. You will then be entertained with a play which is played out by the Village Members and is about the famous love story of the area. The story is related through song and dance.

After the play you are introduced to the traditional foods of the area and taught how to prepare these dishes. You will then be invited to pound the Millet (Kinu) and milk the cows. You are free to join in with the local villagers and prepare their meals with them.

The Nature trail starts at the north end of the Lodge through a dense forest. It is a great opportunity to learn about the plants, birds, small mammals and herbal medication with our resident Naturalist and Masai Warrior.

The Swahili phrase ‘HAKUNA MATATA’ meaning (No Troubles) was made famous by the Lion King Disney movie. Learn basic Swahili words with our resident teacher, who will give you a one on one lesson every evening at the poolside.

This is taught by a traditional Masai and covers the life style of the locals including fire making lessons, traditional dancing and singing.
