For thousands of years the East African tribes have lived in harmony with
the natural world around them. Generations of experience have provided these people
with all the knowledge they need to survive in their respective areas, whether
in the desert-like Samburu area, the forests of Mount Kenya or the rolling plains
of the Masai Mara. Their knowledge of the animals, birds, plants and insects is
unparalleled and will be shared with you as you explore the wilderness.
To walk with the local tribesmen as your guides is to experience Africa at
its most elemental. On the ground, you follow the tracks and spoor of the animals
as you wind your way through rugged rocky outcrops, open savanna plains and thick
riverine forest. Learning the local bush-craft is further enhanced by your introduction
to tribal legends and culture.
This is the "real" Africa, the Africa the great explorers traversed. It still
exists today and is easier to find than you might think. Take the time to get
out of your twenty-first century vehicle, step back in time and track down the
abundant wildlife on foot, the traditional way!
