What’s in store?
Day 1: Transfer Day
Pick up from the Mara airstrip or in Nairobi and transfer you to Maji Moto cultural campsite at the edge of the Loita hills. Here you have a chance to experience the Maasai Culture as you join them for sundowners followed by song and dance around the fire.
Day 2: Into the Loita Hills 70/90 KM
From Maji Moto, we ride to the top of the Loita hills. Here you will descend an incredible single-track section. This brings us to a night of wild camping in the Loita Hills.
Day 3: Through the Loita Hills 50/70 KM
This day of riding through the Loita Hills is one for the books through thick forest, incredible single tracks and untraveled paths. We arrive at a beautiful campsite at the heart of the Loitas.
Day 4: Out of the Loita Hills 80 KM
From the Loita hills, you will ride a single-track downhill with a few climbs. This route brings us to Ololaimutiek Village at the edge of the Mara National Park. We will stay at a hotel with views over the park.
Day 5: Along the edge of the Mara 35/70 KM
Ride through Siana Conservancy and North to Talek. A shorter day but with high chances of animal spotting. The shorter ride gives you the option to have a safari into the National Park in a 4x4 open-sided Landcruiser (at an additional cost).
Day 6: Through the heart of the Mara 50 KM
Depart Talek and ride between the National Park and Mara North Conservancy. Along this route, you are guaranteed to see plenty of animals.

This luxury tented camp is the highlight of the hotels and gives a truly magical experience.
Day 7: Departure
Back to Nairobi. This trip is a once-in-a-lifetime experience from the Loita Hills across the Mara plains. An option for a half day of riding through Mara North is possible before we head back to Nairobi.
