6 Days Loita Plains Hiking Safari
Loita Hills Tour Overview:
The Loita Hills are one of Kenya’s last remaining true wilderness areas. The low-lying mountain range is located south of Nairobi and northeast of the Masai Mara. This area is rarely visited and as a result it is widely believed that the most traditional Maasai culture exists here. Additionally there are pockets of remote forests, wide open plains surrounded by the stunning hillsides and dotted with roaming wildlife. Morover this isn’t an area for viewing big game but more so somewhere to enjoy the scenery, walk with the local Maasai and learn more about their culture and communities. A wonderfully peaceful place to begin or end a safari trip in Kenya.
