Half day tour

Longido is rich in birdlife. Some of the birds seen in this area are starling major, red and yellow barbet, masked weaver, silver bill and secretary bird. A bird walk through the Maasai plains starting from the town of Longido to the bomas of Ol Tepesi allows you to see birds as well as trees and plants used by locals to make food and medicines. Later, visit a Maasai boma to see the Maasai lifestyle.

Full day tour

Add to the bird walk, a walking safari from Ol Tepesi to Kimokouwa along the cattle trail. Gradually climb to an altitude of 100m to get panoramic views of Mt. Kilimanjaro and Mt. Meru. Descend to Kimokouwa’s green ‘valley of wells’ and a nearby historic British grave. On Wednesdays, you can extend your stay by visiting the bustling and colourful cattle market.
