Maasai Simba Camp is a historical site formerly used by legendary Maasai warriors for training. For generations Maasai warriors came to simba camp to gain a wide range of skills for animal husbandry, hunting, wildlife tracking, and how to bond with peers. The camp has been restored and reserved for a few lucky adventure travelers seeking to have authentic cultural and Safari experience with the Maasai. The camp is located right in the heart of the Maasai country. Nestled under a canopy of indigenous acacia trees on the banks of a seasonal Kiboko river in the Amboseli ecosystem. There is intricate relationship between the Maasai and Africa’s wildlife. The Maasai have coexisted with lions and elephants since time immemorial. Maasai Simba Camp inspires the local Maasai landowners to care and protect their land and wildlife for generations to come.

I'm a proud cattleman and a lifelong devoted wildlife conservationist. I can't imagine a Maasai country without wildlife. I love sharing our world with our guests and always eager to show the best of our country to our guests.

The village of Merrueshi, where simba camp is located, is a major wildlife corridor between Amboseli and the picturesque mountain range of Chyulu Hills National Park. Different from a national park visitors can walk along side with giraffes, zebra, eland, wildebeest among other common African wildlife. Our safari walk is lead by Maasai warriors with unmatched knowledge about the African savannah and its wildlife.
