Inspire Afrika offers the option of a trip to the Maasai Mara for an eye-opening encounter with one of Africa’s most famous and authentic safari experiences.

Staying in a tent, with basic but adequate amenities, the trip would include game drives amongst “The Big Five” lions, elephants, leopard, rhino and buffalo also with giraffe, zebra and jackals to name but a few.

The tented village is patrolled at night by Maasai warriors.

You would also get the opportunity to visit a Maasai village and spend some time with the warriors themselves, where they will tell you about their history and give you an insight in to their way of life. Maybe you could even start up a game of football if you bring a ball.

Alongside your volunteering there is no better experience.

These trips are dependent on numbers.
