In
the heart of a remote mopane and acacia wilderness
dominated by alluring views of Mt. Kilimanjaro
is a place the Maasai call Insinya. This is
a remote part of Maasai tribal land where herds
of elephant, buffalo, wildebeest and zebra still
migrate peacefully with little intrusion on
their space. It is the Africa of long ago -
wild, remote and captivating.
The emphasis
in Insinya is on experiencing raw African
wilderness by spending as much time as possible
studying the local flora and fauna, and patiently
watching from animal hides.with its many traditions
and celebrations, which are an often occurrence
in Maasai villages. Theirs is a tough life
but one that is based on a strictly ritualised
egalitarian society, where cows are coveted
above all else.

ANIMALS
Formally
a hunting area, Insinya contains all the animals
you would expect to find on an East African
safari, but unlike other parks, there are no
roads! This serves to demonstrate just how wild
Insinya is.
SEASONS
The
clearest views of Mt Kilimanjaro are usually
in December to February.
Rainy Season: the long rains
fall from March to June, with hot and humid
short rains in November and December.
Dry Season: it is usually dry
in the slightly cooler months of July to October,
which is the best time to view game. |
