African Latitude’s Loita Hills Trek in Southern Kenya : A Walking Safari with Masai Friends
African Latitude leads small, personalized expeditions into the heart of traditional Masai country, the Loita Hills. This area in Southern Kenya and Northern Tanzania is the homeland of the Masai people, and they live as the have for thousands of years… the men taking care of their prized herds of cattle, the women building the homes and running the family and the children learning about the land and wildlife as they tend to the herds of goats. While most tribal people one comes across today during safari are familiar with “western ways,” these people rarely if ever see foreigners. In a country where nearly the entire population speaks Kiswahili, Kenya’s national language, these communities speak only in their native Maa tongue. As a result, their curiosity and friendliness are unmatched elsewhere in Africa.And in May 2008 we’re offering a special departure! Join veteran Canadian travel writer and editor Anne Dimon, who will conduct daily sessions to help you learn how to write for travel-focused media outlets, as well as African-specialist Sarah Fazendin, who, having spent much time in East Africa, will help you fall in love with this amazing part of the world.
