How the trails work?
1. Chose a trail,
2. Meet your guides,
3. Set off into the forest,
4. Spend your days exploring,
5. Back to base for the rest of your safari!

Your Maasai guides will meet you with the pack donkeys. Once all the provisions and camp equipment has been packed, the donkey caravan will set off into the forest to set up the next camp.

The mobile camps consist of comfortable 4x4 African Bell Tents with bedrolls, towels, linen and a wash basin outside. One shower tent and one short drop loo tent is set up for the camp.There is also a mess tent with bar area and a camp-fire situated near by.

Due to the altitude of the Loita area and the terrain that we traverse, we do not plan to walk for longer than 6 hours a day. Within very short distances you can walk through very different ecosystems and habitats.
Normally the walks are three hours in the morning, stop for a leisurely lunch then a further three hours in the afternoon.
