Salaton Ole Ntutu's Projects

Our Kenyan partner Salaton Ole Ntutu was featured in local news recently, talking about the effort to stop female circumcision and early marriage. Hear what he has to say and meet some of the people from the village we visit.

Maji Moto Maasai Cultural Camp

Maji Moto Maasai Cultural Camp is located in the middle of the vast savannah at the base of the Loita Hills, approximately 1.5 hour drive from the Masai Mara National Reserve. Guests stay in traditional Maasai manyattas (mud huts) which have added comforts for Western travelers, or in small tents amid the aloe vera, acacia and euphorbia trees. Feel the spirit of the Maasai, living with nature and listening to our ancestors. Visit the hot spring for a natural bath, or shower in the private outdoor shower with hot water from the spring. Handwashing stations and toilet facilities are also available for your comfort.

The camp can accommodate small parties or large groups of up to 30 people, in an area that is spread out to provide privacy for everything from honeymoon holidays to large group trips.

Culture and Nature Activities

The camp location at the foot of the Loita Hills allows for energetic trekking in the hills and plains, peaceful relaxation, and driving safaris in Maasai Mara. Enjoy the traditional dances in the Maasai Widows’ Village, just up the path from the visitors’ lodging. Learn about traditional beadwork, cooking, and other traditional ways of life. Experience warrior training with Maasai warriors. In the evening, enjoy a wonderful bath in the natural hot springs, and songs and stories by the campfire.

Dining

The camp staff prepares a blend of European and African cuisine, using locally grown food, prepared with the highest quality and food safety standards and served by an attentive staff. Special dietary requirements can be accommodated with advance notice. Dining outdoors or in a covered dining hut provides an ongoing experience living in nature.

Protecting Wildlife, Culture, and the Future

Salaton Ole Ntutu, Maasai community chief, healer and environmental leader, is establishing a sanctuary for animals, plants and the Maasai lifestyle.

Salaton tells us, “We are the protectors of the innocent…the wild animals, holy plants, and children of our culture who will forever lose their place here on earth if we don’t protect them.”
