WATERFALLS
Read moreIt is a 2 to 3 hour walk to the refreshing Engaresero waterfall, ideal for swimming not far from the village between basalt rock and palm trees. After going up the river with good shoes (but you will wet them), the waterfall forms an incredible natural rain curtain thanks to a beautiful rocky height and natural bubbling water pools.
RIFT VALLEY HIKE
Read moreAllow 6 hours of hiking to cross the rivers, reach the foot of the Great Rift Fault that you will take following a path traced by the Germans during the colonial period. Today, it is used only by Maasai who travel extensively throughout their territory from Kenya to visit their families, and by local villagers who move their livestock for shepherds, or who sell jewellery and handicrafts for women. We do a bit of driving with the people we meet on the way, young shepherds playing in the rocks, then we gradually climb to reach the beginning of the Serengeti highlands at 1,300 m, a steep rocky ledge that offers a spectacular view of Lake Natron. We then continue across the great windblown plain where Maasai villages (the famous bomas) built of cow dung and dried earth scatter in the vastness of the landscape. A traditional way of life still intact here. We then stop to get to know the women and children, creating a certain animation, until the time comes to buy jewellery. An exchange here privileged because outside the tourist circuits, one comes only after having discussed, exchanged, it is very pleasant because one takes one's time. The return passes by Engaresero where a stopover is recommended to soak up the more "modern" atmosphere of the village, contrasting with the village life that we have just discovered.
