From:£2,995
Summary
Solo travellers and families (age 14+) are welcome on this incredible charity trek through the Maasai Mara, blending wildlife encounters, cultural immersion, and conservation.
We begin with a guided game walk and boat safari at Lake Naivasha, spotting zebras, giraffes, hippos, and a spectacular variety of birdlife. Then, we journey into the Loita Hills, trekking alongside Maasai guides who share their traditions, survival skills, and deep connection to the land. We camp under the African stars each night, experiencing the wilderness as few ever do.
Our adventure continues with a visit to a local Maasai school before heading into the legendary Maasai Mara National Reserve for a Big Five safari. Guided by expert wildlife spotters, we track lions, elephants, and cheetahs in their natural habitat.
As a fitting finale, we visit two incredible conservation projects: the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, where orphaned elephants are rehabilitated, and The Giraffe Centre, dedicated to protecting the endangered Rothschild’s giraffe.
With only a handful of places available, this exclusive, small-group challenge offers an authentic and unforgettable way to experience Kenya—a perfect adventure for first-time trekkers, families, and those looking to give back while exploring one of Africa’s most remarkable landscapes.

Day by Day Itinerary
UK – Nairobi – Lake Naivasha
Embark on an Epic& extraordinary trekking challenge in the heart of Africa. We fly overnight from the UK to Nairobi. Stepping off the plane, the warm Kenyan breeze greets us. The air hums with energy, and the distant sounds of Nairobi awaken the sense of adventure ahead. Our expert local team greets us and transfers us to Lake Naivasha, a jewel of Kenya’s Great Rift Valley.
Our first adventure takes us on a guided walking safari on Crescent Island, a unique game reserve where we walk among giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, and a spectacular variety of birdlife. Unlike a traditional safari, this immersive experience allows us to witness wildlife on foot, just as nature intended. As the sun sets over the lake, we enjoy a relaxed welcome dinner and trek briefing—a stunning setting for an unforgettable challenge ahead.
FAQs
This incredible cultural adventure challenge in Kenya is designed for solo challengers and families looking for an amazing goal to train and get fit for. A number of the people who will take part in this challenge will have a low level of fitness when they sign up. Our three-day trek with the Maasai Mara people is the perfect motivation to get fit and have an experience of a lifetime.
As a trek designed for both individuals and families, it’s less challenging than our usual overseas challenges. So it’s a great “gateway challenge”. Before you know it, you’ll be hooked and taking on a longer trek next year!
When you register for the challenge, we’ll send you a realistic and achievable training plan, which builds up over time, so you’ll be ready and raring to go by the time we depart for Kenya.
