Salaash's Bio:

Born and bred just slightly in the northern peripheries of the Maasai Mara approximately 45 years ago. I attended primary and high schools locally before joining tourism and hospitality. I equate my journey in hospitality to the proverbial” journey of a thousand miles starts with one single step” I started as a general helper before becoming a nightwatchman. After a few months into my watchman job, I got elevated and became a waiter. While being a waiter, I learned to become a guide and interestingly at the same time, nature had something more in store for me. My bosses at the time selected me for a position of a trainee manager. They taught me administration, management and running of the camp. I took the opportunities and responsibilities (waiting, learning guiding and management) all at the same time and did it for 5 years. I ended up being the manager as well as a guide for 7 years at Mara Bush Houses which by this time was an Asilia property. Apart from representing myself in Europe and USA, I have been fortunate to get other opportunities of being a good Ambassador for Kenya in road shows/ marketing across the USA. In 2016, I decided to become a freelance guide, acquired a Safari vehicle and so far, managed to privately lead/guide several groups in the Mara.

I haven’t hit the thousand miles yet but the journey continues.....

Monday: Depart from Musiara Airstrip at 12:00pm on your private CYK charter to Campi ya Kanzi arriving 1:30pm. 

Thursday: Depart Campi ya Kanzi at 10:00am by private CYK charter to Lewa airstrip arriving 11:25am.  

Sunday: Depart on your Walking Wild safari 

During the next couple of days you have the incredible opportunity to experience the famous Lewa Wildlife Conservancy and the Il’Ngwesi Community Ranch that neighbours Lewa by foot. Camels are used to carry the luggage and tents are pitched each night as accommodation. This is a mobile safari designed to allow you to get a more intimate and natural experience of the wildlife and environment of this part of Kenya.

Walking Wild is staffed and guided by people with a lifetime of experience co-existing with the wildlife of this area. Kitonga and his team do an amazing job of providing an experience of a lifetime. You will walk with your Maasia guides through the bush from camp to camp, while the camels transport your luggage and camp. Eating out and sleeping in netted tents under the stars is a truly magical experience. You will get the comparatively rare opportunity to walk through the natural habitat of some to the finest examples of African wildlife. Lewa Wildlife Conservancy is one of the few remaining places in East Africa where black and white rhino can still be seen roaming wild along with plentiful elephants, buffalo, big cats and other plains game. The possibility offered by these safaris of viewing these animals while on foot is one of the most commonly given reasons for why people wish to walk in these conservancy areas.

The Walking Wild fly camp is set up each night in a different location. The tents are dome shaped, netted tents with a fly sheets in case of rain. Each tent will have bedrolls on the floor, with feather pillows, sheets and blankets. Each tent will have it’s own bucket showers and ‘long drop’ loos in separate tents are nearby. Arriving into camp for sundowners each evening, gives time to settle down and enjoy the views and of course the sunset. Dining out under the stars and and sitting around the camp fire with your Maasai hosts is an unbeatable experience.
