The Reserve at Rimpa Estates Wildlife Conservancy
On this day we drive into the rural Maasai heartland
where you learn how the Maasai manage their environment from the herdsmen, women and elders of the village. A Maasai's herd is one of their most sacred possessions, and they are the only tribe permitted to graze their herds on public land in Nairobi. They have for centuries had to protect their land so that they do not deplete the coverage of natural pastures. But as with most indigenous communities, they have been subject to many modern pressures. You will help herd the cattle, see how herbs can be used to make natural medicines and earn the importance the Maasai place on their natural resources. The Maasai are also making use of biogas; a clean, non-polluting energy source generated from cow dung. this means the Maasai do not need to forage each day for firewood, and which in turn protects forests and wildlife habitats. This day is one of the great cultural tours in Kenya and an award winner.
