Footsteps of the Maasai
Friday 3rd October 2008 - Sunday 12th October 2008
This challenge takes place in the wild African bush, home to several Maasai communities. Perhaps the most revered of the great African nomadic tribes, the Maasai originated in the Nile basin and migrated south through Ethiopia to Kenya and Tanzania in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. They were then known as the fiercest of warriors. Now they struggle to retain their modest lifestyle.
- Trek with Maasai tribesmen
- Great African Rift valley and Crater Highlands
- Backdrop of acacia and savannah bush
- Ngorongoro Crater safari
- Optional Serengeti safari extension
Starting in the foothills of 2,590m tall Mt. Longdio, a sacred Maasai mountain, you will trek across the floor of the Great Rift Valley right to the foothills of the visually stunning Crater Highlands with the Maasai as your guide.
En route you will also have the chance to visit Mt. Kitumbeine on whose higher slopes are hidden remote Maasai settlements.
Once the challenge is complete, you can celebrate with a fabulous 4WD safari and game drive to one of the Natural Wonders of the World, the Ngorongoro Crater.
