Loita Hills Adventure Self-Drive Group Tour

ABOUT LOITA HILLS ADVENTURE SELF-DRIVE TOUR

If there’s something we love more than taking people to special places in Kenya, it’s taking them to special places that most travellers have never even heard about, let alone been to. The Loita Hills is one of these special places- lush hills covered in dense cedar forest, full of strangler figs and traditional medicinal plants.  This area, known locally as the Forest of the Lost Child, is sacred to the Maasai community many of whom still live very traditionally.  There are colobus monkeys in the trees, brightly coloured birds and the occasional cough of a leopard is heard during the night.
