Day 1: Simanjiro Community Wilderness Area

  • Depart Arusha and drive south on dirt roads with your guide in a 4x4 vehicle onto the Maasai steppe and into the Simanjiro community wilderness area.
  • The journey takes around half a day, and you'll pass through rural farmland becoming pastoralist rangelands the further south you drive.

  • This afternoon, you can visit a Maasai boma with your guide, getting your first insights into Maasai life and traditions.
  • These visits are structured but not staged and happen only once or twice per year so are truly authentic.

  • You'll get to learn about the Maasai culture and the medicinal uses of various plants while enjoying the freedom of walking in the savannah.
