Introduction    This  exciting  new  safari  is  a  ‘one  of  a  kind’  that  has  been  designed  from  scratch  to  be  able  to  offer  you  a  truly   authentic   African   experience.   There   is   no   other   safari   company   that   visits   this   special   corner   of  Africa  and  no  other  safari  itinerary  can  offer  the  unique  mix  and  blend  of  experiences  that  this  one  does.  In   one   sentence,   this   safari   offers   up   lakes,   forests,   wetlands,   plains,   birds,   frontiers,   mammals,  predators,  nocturnal  wildlife,  culture,  research,  education,  photography,  conservation,  mountains,  rivers,  wilderness,  adventure  and  freedom.    There   is   no  doubt   that  Africa   is   a   great,  wild   and   enchanting   continent   but   as  with   all   others,   human  population  growth  and  explosion  have  seen  the  continent  change  drastically  over  the  last  few  decades.  As  a  professional  wildlife  photographer,  I  have  dedicated  my  life  to  searching  for  pockets  of  Africa  which  remain  unchanged.  These  enchanting  places  offer  a  wild  freedom  and  rugged  beauty  that  transport  one  back  in  time.  If  you  want  to  experience  the  so  called  ‘lost’  Africa  or  as  I  prefer  to  put  it,  ‘the  real  Africa’,  then  the  South  Rift  Valley  Safari  is  for  you.    About  the  South  Rift  Valley  Safari    This   safari  plays  out   in   the  southern   rift  valley  of  Kenya.   If   you   look  on  a  map  it   is  between   the  Masai  Mara  and  Amboseli  in  a  region  that  is  NEVER  featured  on  the  regular  safari  circuit.    Most  safaris  offer  you  a  mix  of  safari  drives  but  this  safari   is  very  different   in  that  there  are  a  number  of  unique  and  exciting  activities  that  form  the  basis  of  the  safari.  These  include  walks,  presentations  from  leading  scientists,  day  drives,  night  drives,  authentic  cultural  activities,  all  genres  of  photography,  research  activities,   tracking  and  more.    The  south  rift  valley  of  Kenya  is  possibly  the  most  diverse  geographic  location  on  the  African  continent.  From  soda  lakes,  to  freshwater  wetlands,  to  rivers,  to  mountains,  to  grasslands,  to  savannahs  –  this  area  has   it  all  and  you  will   see   it  all.  Africa   is   famous   for   its  rift  valley   lakes  but  very  few  people  get  to  visit  Lake  Natron  due   to   its   remote  and   isolated   location.   It   is   the   largest  breeding  ground   in   the  world   for  Lesser  Flamingoes  and  they  breed  there  because  no  one  else  goes  there!  On  this  safari  you  take  in  the  incredible  sight  of  Lake  Natron  and  its  associated  rift  valley  scenery.  For  landscape  photographers  this  is  a  dream  come  true.    For   those  of  you  who  enjoy  being  out  on   foot,   this  safari  offers  a  wild   freedom  that   is  absent   in  more  established   parks   and   reserves.  We   will   explore   the   floor   of   the   rift   valley   and  we  will   walk   through  ancient   Fig   Tree   forests.   Together  with   a  Maasai   guide,  we  will   interpret   tracks   and   signs   left   by  wild  animals  and  you  will  take  in  true  rift  valley  sights,  sounds  and  smells  whilst  outside  the  vehicle.

The  Conservation  Aspect    

• 40%  of  Safari  costs  are  contributed  to  Conservation  Efforts  in  the  Region  (USD  1  580.00  pp)  • 2  Satellite  Collars  will  be  donated  to  Rebuilding  the  Pride  Researchers  for  monitoring  purposes  • Guests  will  receive  login  details  and  will  be  able  to  track  and  monitor  the  lion  prides  remotely  

 Africa  has  lost  40%  of  its  lions  over  the  last  few  decades  and  the  south  rift  valley  of  Kenya  is  one  of  the  last  strongholds  for  free-­‐ranging  lion.  It  is  also  one  of  the  only  areas  in  Africa  where  lion  numbers  are  on  the  increase  which  is  even  more  incredible  considering  that  they  live  on  community  land.  Guy  Western,  currently  busy  with  his  PHD  through  Oxford  University  heads  the  ‘Rebuilding  The  Pride’  project  and  not  only   will   you   go   out   and   do   field   research   with   his   team   but   you   will   be   given   a   fascinating   lecture  explaining   the   incredible   dynamics   that   have   resulted   in   this   being   one   of   the   last   thriving   lion  populations  on  the  continent.    This  safari  gives  you  the  opportunity  to  help  conserve  Africa’s  wildlife  and  people.  40%  of  all  the  profits  from  this   safari  are  being  donated   to   the  people  and  wildlife  of   the  south   rift  valley.  Not  only  are  you  donating  by  being  on  this  safari  but  you  will  hear  more  about  the  very  projects  that  you  are  helping  and  get  to  see  and  experience  them  first  hand.    The  Photographic  Aspect    

• Dedicated  Photographic  Guidance  from  Greg  Du  Toit  • Wildlife,  Cultural  and  landscape  photographic  opportunities  

 This  safari  is  so  diverse  that  is  caters  for  everyone,  not  just  photographers  so  non  photographers  are  very  welcome.   But,   for   the   photographers   amongst   you,   you   will   be   able   to   photograph   free-­‐ranging   lion  carrying  out  a  wild  and   free  existence  on  community   land.  You  will  photograph   incredible  birds  at   the  N’giro  Swamps  which  is  an  uncharted  wetland,  and  you  will  photograph  a  plethora  of  other  wildlife.  On  this  safari  we  will  do  a  night  drive  after  dinner  and  you  will  see  shy  and  nocturnal  creatures  seldom  seen  like  aardwolf  or  aardvark.  This  safari   caters  for  every  kind  of  photographer  and  cultural  photographers  will   be   given   an   authentic   opportunity   to   photograph   Maasai   living   their   daily   lives   while   landscape  photographers  will  enjoy  photographing  incredibly  expansive  vistas,  that  have  not  yet  been  done  justice  with  a  camera.    The  Cultural  Aspect    

• Authentic  Maasai  Cultural  Experience  • Guests  will  participate  in  herding  of  cattle  with  Maasai  Herdsman  • Guests  will  learn  how  the  Maasai  have  learnt  to  “dance”  with,  and  co  exist  with  lions  

 One  of  Africa’s  major  attractions  lies  in  its  diverse  array  of  traditional  cultures.  The  Maasai  are  one  such  famous  culture  and  this  safari  plays  out  on  their  land.  If  you  want  to  have  a  genuine  cultural  experience  then   this   is   the   safari   for   you.  On   this   safari   you  will   be   introduced   to   a   traditional  Maasai   boma  and  family.  You  will  join  in  with  the  daily  boma  activities  such  as  herding  cattle  and  milking  goats.  There  are  very  few  authentic  cultural  experiences  left  in  Africa  and  this  is  one  of  them.  You  will  get  to  experience  the  daily  life  and  culture  of  one  of  the  most  traditional  clans  of  the  Maasai  tribe  left  in  Kenya.

The  Daily  Itinerary    Day  1  |  Arrival  in  Kenya  After  being  met  at   Jomo  Kenyatta   International  Airport   in  Nairobi  you  will  enjoy  a   scenic  4   hour  drive  into  the  south   rift  valley  of  Kenya.  Our  camp  has  been  especially  erected  for  this   safari  and  it   is  a  fully  mobile  camp  with  a  lite  footprint.  We  will  be  based  inside  a  unique  community  conservancy  and  on  the  dry  dusty  floor  of  the  Great  Rift  Valley.  Once  we  have  received  a  camp  briefing,  we  will  head  out  for  an  introductory  exploration  of  the  floor  of  one  of  Kenya’s  last  true  wildernesses.      We  will   enjoy   sundowners   taking   in   the   beautiful   rift   valley   scenery   before   heading   back   to   camp.   A  scrumptious   dinner   and   campfire   will   be   followed   by   an   introductory   talk   by   myself   on   the   area,   its  people  and  its  wildlife.  Turning  in  for  the  night,  you  might  here  lions  roar  while  sleeping  in  your  tent  and  if   you  do,   it  will   be   the   first   time   that   you  have  heard   ‘Livingstone   Lions’   roar.   This   last   sentence  will  make  more  sense  once  you  have  heard  my  talk.    Day  2  |  Lake  Natron,  Maasai  Bomas,  Rebuilding  the  Pride  Presentation  Our  day  begins  with  an  early  5am  departure  for  Lake  Natron.  This  is  a  soda  lake  in  the  truest  sense  of  the  word.  Surrounded  by  extinct  volcanoes  you  might  even  glimpse  Ol  Doinyo  Lengai  to  the  south  which  is  the  last  active  volcano  remaining  in  the  eastern  arm  of  the  rift  valley.  Natron  is  like  no  place  else  and  it  has  been  heralded  the  most  dynamic  landform  on  planet  earth  by  NASA.  It  is  a  wild  frontier,  a  harsh  and  inhospitable  place  that  has  a  barren,  rugged  beauty  that  will  leave  a  lasting  impression  on  you.  The  vistas  are   large   and   this   is   true   big   sky   country.   The   drive   into   and   out   of   the   Natron   basin   will   offer   you  breathtaking  rift  valley  scenery  as  we  pass  by  Maasai  villages  and  under  the  steep  western  escarpment  of   the  rift  valley.  This   is  a  frontier  experience   that  will  challenge  even  the  widest  of  wide-­‐angle   lenses.  We  will  take  a  packed  breakfast  and  the  morning  will  be  spent  photographing,  exploring  and  celebrating  the  wilderness  of  the  south  rift  valley.    After  lunch  and  tea  back  in  camp  we  head  out  to  meet  a  traditional  Maasai  boma  (village).  We  will  spend  the  afternoon  and  evening  with  the  Maasai.  You  will  be  introduced  to  a  Maasai  family  and  you  will  join  them  in  the  daily  activities  of  the  home  such  as  milking,  herding  and  the  associated  traditions,  including  singing   and   folklore.   Photos   will   also   be   allowed   during   this   time.   This   will   be   an   authentic   cultural  experience  and  the  Maasai  we  visit  will  not  put  on  a  show  or  a  ‘sing  and  dance’  for  us.  What  they  will  do,  is  allow  us  into  their  world,  to  experience  their  everyday  life.  Samantha  du  Toit  from  SORALO  has  been  working   with   this   community   for   the   last   seven   years   and   she   will   be   at   hand   to   help   interpret   and  explain   the   culture.   It   is   through   the   trust   that   she   has   earned   from   the   local  Maasai,   and   her   caring  work,  that  we  have  been  extended  this  special  invite.  These  bomas  are  some  of  the  most  traditional  left  in   Kenya   and   in   this   part   of   Africa   the  Maasai   are   still   semi-­‐nomadic.   You   will   not   only   glimpse   this  ancient  and  wonderful  culture  but  you  will  gain  in-­‐depth  knowledge  and  firsthand  experience.    Guy  Western   is   currently  busy  with  his  PHD  through  Oxford  University  and  he  heads  a   fascinating  and  exciting  project  called  “Rebuilding   the  Pride”.  This  unique  project   is   studying  both   the  Maasai  and   the  free-­‐ranging  lion  population  of  the  south  rift  valley.  As  mentioned,  the  south  rift  of  Kenya  is  one  of  the  only   places   in  Africa  where   the   lion  population   is   on   the   increase.   This   is   especially   remarkable  when  considering  that  Kenya  only  has  2000  lion  left  and  even  inside  its  national  parks,  lions  are  decreasing  in  number.  The  “Rebuilding  the  Pride”  project  is  trying  to  identify  all  the  factors  that  come  in  to  play  in  the  south   rift,   which   are   making   it   such   a   conservation   success   story.   Once   these   factors   have   been  identified,  “Rebuilding  the  Pride”  want  to  design  a  model  that  can  hopefully  be  replicated  elsewhere  to  help   conserve   both   wildlife   and   people.   This   exciting   lecture   will   open   your   eyes   to   the   incredible  conservation  ethics  of  the  Maasai.  It  will  enlighten  you  regarding  lion  behaviour  and  you  will  gain  unique  insight  into  the  dynamics  of  one  of  Africa’s  most  diverse,  dynamic  and  unique  ecosystems.  This  exciting  talk  will  broaden  your  horizons  and  it  will  challenge  your  thoughts  on  the  concepts  of  both  ‘wilderness’  and   ‘conservation’!   “Rebuilding   the   Pride”   is   a   one  of   a   kind  project   that  will   give   you  unique   and   in-­‐depth  insight  and  this  evening,  we  will  hear  from  the  researchers  themselves.

The  Daily  Itinerary  Continued…    Day  3  |  Dancing  with  Lions  Part  1  This   is   an   exciting   day   because   we   will   join   the   “Rebuilding   the   Pride”   researchers   in   the   field!  Researchers  get   up   even   earlier   than  photographers   so   our   day  will   begin   long  before   sunrise.  Of   the  approximated  50  lion  in  the  area,  only  4  have  been  collared  with  a  GPS  satellite  tracking  collar.  In  an  area  that  is  over  100  000ha  (1000  sq-­‐km),  we  will  track  down  the  lions  of  the  south  rift  valley.  These  are  no  ordinary   lions   though,   they   are   free-­‐ranging   lion,   carrying  out   a   free   existence   on  Maasai   community  land.   This   is   a   part   of   Africa   where   man   and   beast   still   coexist,   and   on   this  morning,   you   will   get   to  experience   this   firsthand.   I   am   sure   many   of   you   have   seen   lots   of   lions   before,   but   think   about   it,  everywhere  you  have  seen  a   lion  is  because  man  has  been  excluded  out  of  the  area  such  as  in  national  parks  and  game  reserves.  This  experience  is  very  different  in  that  the  Maasai  and  the  lions  live  side-­‐by-­‐side   and   on   this   morning,   we   will   not   only   track   the   lion   down   but   we   will   spend   time   with   them,  following   them  across   the   floor   of  Africa’s   rift   valley.  Once  we   have   located   the   lion,   we  will   pass   by  Maasai  villages  and  share  our  findings  with  them.  You  will  not  only  see  and  photograph  free-­‐ranging  lion  but  you  will  get   to  experience  what   it   is   like   to  be  a   field   researcher   in  wild  Africa.  You  will  assist   the  ‘Rebuilding  the  Pride”  project  and  you  will  play  a  part   in  conserving  this  splendid  and  unique  corner  of  Africa.    On  this  afternoon,  we  drive  south  along  the  floor  of  the  rift  valley  enjoying  the  scenery  and  wildlife.  Our  destination  is  the  N’giro  Swamps  at  the  base  of  Mount  Shompole.  This  mountain   is  an  extinct  volcanoe  lying   to   the  north  of  Lake  Natron  and   it   is   like  molten  wax   standing  on   the   floor  of   the   rift  valley.  For  those   of   you   who   enjoy   landscape   photography,   you   will   be   able   to   walk   along   the   edge   of   this  wonderful  wetland  seeking  out  your  special  composition  with  Mount  Shompole  in  the  background.  The  freshwater  in  the  swamps  also  draws  wildlife  off  the  dry  dusty  plains  in  the  afternoon.  This  afternoon  is  special   in   that  you  will  be  able   to  climb  out  of  the  vehicles,  shed  your  shoes  and  socks   if  you   like,  and  walk  along  the  edge  of  the  wetland,  taking  in  the  sights,  sounds  and  smells  of  a  true  African  wilderness.  After  enjoying  a  sundowner  and  watching  the  sun  set  behind  the  western  wall  of  the  Great  Rift  Valley  we  will  make  our  way  north  again.  Using  spotlights,   our  exploration  of   the   valley   floor   continues   into   the  night.    Day  4  |  Dancing  with  Lions  Part  2  Again,  long  before  dawn,  we  will  be  out  on  the  dusty  floor  of  Africa’s  rift  valley  where  we  will  track  down  our  lions  from  yesterday  to  see  what  they  have  been  up  to.  Accompanied  by  the  “Rebuilding  the  Pride”  team  of   researchers,  we  will   join   them  on   their   daily   field   research.  This   safari  affords  you   the  special  opportunity  of  getting   to   terms  with  one  of   the  most   fluid  and  dynamic  ecosystems   left   in  Africa.  The  rainfall,   rivers  and  swamps  all  affect  grazing  for  the  Maasai   cows  and  wildlife  of   the  area.  Why  do  the  lions   not   destroy   the   cattle   and   in   turn  why   does   the   growing   population   of  Maasai   not   destroy   the  lions?  What  makes  this  ecosystem  tick  and  what  challenges  lie  ahead?  What  better  way  to  answer  these  questions  than  by  getting  out  and  into  the  ecosystem,  by  spending  time  with  both  the  Maasai  and  the  lion!  This  morning,  we  are  not  on  a  normal  safari  drive;  we  are  on  an  exploration  back  in  time  to  study  an  ancient  relationship  between  two  organisms,  both  of  which  are  at  the  top  of  the  ‘food  chain’  and  both  are  sharing  the  same  resources.  How  do  the  Maasai,  with  their  cattle  and  goats,  coexist  in  the  same  area  as  Africa’s  top  big  cat?  We  will  answer  this  question.    The  south  rift  valley   is  a  truly  wild  piece  of  Africa.   It   is  hot,  dry  and  dusty,  dotted  with  Acacias  and  the  wall  of  the  rift  valley  is  an  ever-­‐faithful  backdrop.  The  Maasai  not  only  live  in  this  wild  rugged  countryside  but  they  subsist  here  without  growing  crops  and  among  Africa’s  wild  beasts.  The  Maasai  herdsman  are  therefore  shepherds  of  biblical  proportions!  Each  day   they  have   the  huge   responsibility  of   taking   their  family’s  cattle  out  grazing  and  to  be  watered.  Armed  physically  with  only  spears,  they  are  responsible  for  their  family’s  wealth.  Lions  are  on  the  prowl  and  the  herdsman  are  on  the  watch.      

7

The  Daily  Itinerary  Continued…    This  afternoon,  we  join  the  Maasai  herdsman  and  we  help  them  ferry  their  cattle  back  to  their  bomas  at  dusk,  which  incidentally  is  the  most  dangerous  time  of  the  day.  Walking  behind  a  herd  of  Maasai  cows,  listening   to  their  bells  and  watching   the  dust   that   they  kick  up,  you  will  experience  Africa   the  way   the  Maasai  do.  Our  herdsman  will  have  their  spears  close  at  hand  but  this  afternoon,  you  will  come  to  realize  that   their   true  weapon   is   the   knowledge  of   not   only   their   land  but   the  wisdom   that   has   been  passed  down   to   them   by   their   forefathers.   You   will   gain   firsthand   experience   as   to   just   what   incredible  pastoralists  the  Maasai  are.  Walking  on  the  dusty  floor  of  this  ancient  land,  you  will  feel  truly  alive!    After   an   earlier   dinner,   we   head   out   on   a   night   exploration.   The   south   rift   has   in   incredible   array   of  nocturnal  creatures  and  since  we  are  not   inside  a  park  or  game  reserve,  we  can  go  exploring!  We  will  search  for  aardvark;  aardwolf;  civets;  genets;  hyena;  whitetailed  mongoose;  leopards;  lion;  owls;  african  wild  cats  and  serval  amongst  others.  The  nocturnal  fauna  is  the  best  kept  secret  of  the  south  rift  and  we  will  unlock  this  secret.  Sitting  on  the  roof  of  a  vehicle  with  nothing  but  wild  Africa  all  around  you  and  the  starry  heavens  above,  you  will  once  again  be  touched  by  the  awesomeness  of  true  wilderness!    Day  5  |  River  Walk,  Lake  Natron,  SORALO  &  Maasai  Dinner  The  south  rift  is  one  of  the  most  diverse  geographic  locations  in  Africa.  This  morning  we  will  walk  along  the  Ewaso  Ngiro   river  enjoying  the  wildlife  and  scenery.  This   river   is   fringed  with  ancient   fig  trees  and  this  gallery  forest  is  the  largest  fig  forest   left  in  Africa.  These  wild  fig  trees  provide  fruit  year-­‐round  and  the  river  is  a  permanent  water  source  in  what  is  a  very  dry  and  dusty  ecosystem.  The  fine  volcanic  dust  means   that  the   tracks  of   the  animals  are   imprinted  with  superb  clarity  and  we  will  enjoy   tracking  with  our  local  Maasai  guide.  Walking  along  the  river,  you  will  again  take  in  the  sights,  sound  and  the  smells  of  this   ancient   land.   For   the   birdwatchers   amongst   you,   this   promises   to   be   a   real   treat   as   Kenya’s   arid  areas  are  a  birder’s  delight.    We  leave  camp  in  the  early  afternoon  and  wind  our  way  south  enjoying  the  wildlife  of  the  rift  valley.  This  afternoon,   we   cross   over   the   swamps   and   we   skirt   the   western   side   of   Mount   Shompole.   Our   end  destination   is   the   northeastern   shore   of   Lake   Natron.  Most   people   visiting   Kenya   go   to   Lake   Nakuru,  Bogoria,  Baringo  or  even  Turkana.  This  afternoon,  you  will  stand  where  very  few  have  as  Lake  Natron  is  the   remotest  and  most  hostile  of  all  the   rift  valley   lakes.  Due  to   its  wild   location  and  inaccessible  mud  flats,  this   is  the  only  place  in  East  Africa  where  the  Lesser  Flamingoes  breed.  This  breeding  takes  place  right  out   in  the  middle  of  the   lake  and  out  of   sight  but  the   lake  is   fed  by  freshwater   springs  which  the  flamingos  journey  to,  to  bath  and  drink.  Lake  Natron  is  more  of  a  wilderness  experience  though  than  a  flamingoe  experience,  and  it  is  a  truly  unique  and  incredible  frontier.  We  will  enjoy  the  evening  exploring  the  shores  of  Lake  Natron  and  for  the  last  time,  we  will  watch  the  sun  set  behind  a  particularly  steep  part  of  the  western  wall  of  the  rift  valley,  behind  a  mountain  which  the  Maasai  call  Oldonyo  Sampu.  Winding  our  way  north   again,  while   you  stand  with  your  head  out   the   top  of   the   vehicle,  you  will   feel   the  hot  African  breeze  on  your  face  and  you  will  be  dwarfed  in  an  ancient  volcanic  landscape.  You  will  fall  in  love  with  Africa  all  over  again!    SORALO  is  the  “South  Rift  Association  of  Land  Owners”.  This  trust  was  formed  to  take  care  of  all  the  land  between   the  Masai  Mara   (to  the  west)  and  Amboseli   (to   the  east).   It   is  an   incredibly  diverse  area  and  SORALO   is   a   community   driven   initiative   that   aims   at   directly   improving   the   livelihoods   of   the  communities,  creating  linkages  and  assisting  in  resource  mobilization  for  the  development  of  the  south  rift  valley   region,  all   the  while  taking  into  consideration  the  key  threats  and  challenges   in   the  area.  On  our  last  night  we  will  be  hosted  by  the  founding  member  of  SORALO,  Samantha  du  Toit.  Sam,  a  Kenyan  by  birth,  moved  into  the  area  in  2007  and  her  gentle,  patient  and  caring  relationship  with  the  Maasai  is  what  makes  this  such  an  incredibly  successful  conservation  initiative.  We  will  hear  a  bit  more  from  Sam  about   the   SORALO  projects   being   initiated   and  we  will   enjoy  a   traditional   Swahili   dinner   consisting   of  yummy  free-­‐range  Maasai  goat!

The  Daily  Itinerary  Continued…    By  the  end  of  this  evening,  we  believe  that  your  eye’s  would  have  been  opened  to  an  entirely  new  form  of  conservation  and  that  your  definition  of  the  wilderness  concept  will  be  forever  changed.  “Rebuilding  the   Pride’   which   is   one   of   the   SORALO   project’s   is   a   good   news   story   that   will   leave   you   filled   with  passion  and  renewed  hope  for  the  African  continent.    Day  6  |  Departure  After  a  hearty  breakfast,  we  bid  farewell  to  the  south  rift  until  next  time.  A  four  hour  drive  up  to  Nairobi  will  deliver  you  back  at  the  international  airport  for  your  onward  journey  home.  Of  course  if  you  would  like   to  continue  exploring   in  Kenya   then   this  can  be   arranged  but   this   is  will   be  on  a   ‘private   request’  basis.
