KAMBI YA TEMBO
Kilimanjaro
Sinya, a private concession of about 600
square km, bordering Kenya at Amboseli
National Park, offers spectacular
landscapes with magnificent views of
Kilimanjaro, Mount Meru, Ol Doinyo
Longido and Ol Doinyo Orok.
A unique nature and cultural experience.
One of the few areas in Africa where
huge Elephant Bulls, more than 50 years
old, carrying tusks of considerable
size, are regularly seen. These bulls,
some of them living permanently in the
zone, together with herds of mothers and
calves use to migrate between the swamps
of Amboseli National Park and the Acacia
woodlands of the other side of the
border in search of water and food. Most
of them have been monitored by Cynthia
Moss in Amboseli for more than 25 years
and form one of the healthiest and most
balanced Elephant populations of the
whole African Continent.
Maasai “bomas” are sparsely scattered in
Sinya, with a total population of no
more than 2.000 people living in a huge
area.
These maasai are still living the
traditional way and are not used to the
commercial relationship with tourists
that is common in more visited areas.
They are spectacularly dressed and
follow all the traditional ceremonies.
They are very friendly and we have been
able o developed a privileged
relationship with them. This is a
Community Conservation Project
benefiting the maasai of Sinya.
Activities include game drives in open
car, walking safaris escorted by Maasai
warriors, interaction with the local maasai including participation in
ceremonies if available. |
