  • You will enjoy breakfast and depart in style in vintage Series 1 Land Rovers (ranging from 1949 – '56) with your guides.
  • Once you leave Arusha, you'll be driving off-road and journeying south for around 3.5- 4hrs through rural Maasai land until you reach the camp.
  • Arrive in time for lunch and time spent relaxing during the heat of the day before going on an afternoon ride, exploring these open plains, home to a variety of plains game including zebra, giraffe, lesser kudu and gerenuk.

  • There are various villages and Maasai settlements nearby that you can visit, offering a truly genuine experience, as tourists rarely visit these villages.
