Following a delicious breakfast, your next destination is the picturesque village of Mto wa Mbu, a vibrant green oasis nestled within the expansive Maasai plain. Here, the local community thrives on the cultivation of bananas and rice. It's the starting point for one of the safari's most cherished experiences – a mountain bike tour that leads you through some of the most breath- taking natural landscapes while showcasing quintessen- tial African scenes.
Pedaling along on relatively flat terrain, this adventure is accessible to all, whether you're exceptionally fit or prefer a more relaxed pace. The route meanders through local streets and lush, verdant forests, offering glimpses of charming farms, expansive banana planta- tions, and the chance to visit a local school. The duration of this bike ride typically spans two to three hours, but it can be tailored to your preferences.
Upon completing your bike excursion, you'll have the unique opportunity to visit a Maasai village, a bastion of traditional African culture. The Maasai people inhabit regions teeming with lions and elephants, yet they possess an innate knowledge of preserving their territory, including the protection of their herds of goats and cows, all in harmony with nature's principles. During this visit, the Maasai will share insights into their daily lives and offer a window into their time-honored way of existence.
