For the children, we have an adventurer’s club where children can immerse themselves in traditional Masai games under the supervision of our adventure club crew.
The drives to see wildlife can be done in three different ways;
- Full day game drive, where you can have both breakfast and lunch picnic meals. Or you can have breakfast and carry picnic lunch and enjoy the whole day outside.
- You can have your breakfast at camp or have a picnic breakfast and return to camp for lunch.
