This exciting challenge takes place in the wild African bush, home to several Maasai communities. Perhaps the most revered of the great African nomadic tribes, the Maasai are the fiercest of warriors, but struggle to retain their modest lifestyle in modern times.
Led by Maasai guides, we begin from the bottom of Mt. Longido (2,590m), trekking across the floor of the Great Rift Valley to the foothills of the Crater Highlands.
Expect to be captivated by the beauty of this incredible region, otherwise known as “the Cradle of Mankind”. The spectacular route passes Mt. Kitumbeine, the game-filled plains of Nagarirat and the escarpment of the Rift Valley.
Please note this is a bespoke challenge managed by Charity Challenge for Kriya Yoga to raise funds for Balashram school. Charity Challenge operates hundreds of challenges internationally. If you have any questions on the trek either prior or after booking please contact Charity Challenge on email info@charitychallenge.com or tel +44 (0)20 8346 0500.

It was remarkable to be so remote and to see the real African Bush and how little the Maasai tribes live with. They are so happy with so little - we really have too many material things at home!

I have just had the most fascinating experience of my life. We were trekking in "Real" Africa where, for 5 days, we saw no-one else apart from our group and the Masaai people. A humbling and life-changing experience and never to be forgotten.

An incredible few days where we were all physically and emotionally challenged. I would recommend to everyone.
