Cultural Maasai Village Visit
To allow our guests to turn theoretical knowledge about the culture and traditions of the Maasai tribe in the real practical experience, we built a real traditional Maasai Manyatta for our clients to learn their traditional skills and daily life responsibilities of the Maasai men and women. You can have an overnight at the real Maasai mud house – all this you will experience at LOYK MARA CAMP.
You also have an opportunity to support the local community by buying souvenirs made by local men and women. All revenue goes direct to the community to improve the lives of local children and women.
Olpul Experience
Initially the camp site was known by the bush behind the tent №10 where young Maasai Warriors used to gather and share their meals. We give our Guests the chance to get the unique experience of Olpul «Blessed» meals as it traditionally was among Maasais. No forks or spoons, no table or crockeries – just the bonfire, the sheep meat just slotted for you and grilled on the wooden sticks, the bush, the stars and the sounds of the wild nature.
Guided Nature Walk
Escorted by Maasai Warriors and an experienced local naturalist nature walk among crowds of antelopes and gazelles within African bush and savannah allows you to get closer to the wild nature and learn more about local flora and fauna and feel unique experience of being in the middle of the wild.
Kids Adventure Club
We all love our dearest children. But sometimes they take up too much of our attention. At Loyk you can enjoy your peace and quietly sipping a cool cocktail at our lounge and observe your beloved children playing at KIDS ADVENTURE CLUB just 20 meters away from their parents under the supervision of our kid’s entertainer.
Your children will learn more about wild nature and be taught how to handle a spear, bow and arrows, examine and copy the traces of wild animals, identify useful plant species, make a fire without matches and much more.
Indoor games
Well honestly it’s not always clear sky in Mara and sometimes it’s raining.
For such evenings we have billiards, poker, scrabble, chess and a special open air cinema at our lounge. Feel free to show your skills to the others or just watch one of the movies from our video library.
