About Maasai Across America

May 17-31, 2024

 

A cross-cultural adventure to educate, share, and promote tourism and conservation efforts in Kenya’s magnificent Maasai Mara National Reserve 

 

Who: Jackson Looseyia, one of Conde Nast Traveler’s Top 15 Legendary Guides in Africa and arguably Kenya’s most famous guide and game expert! He has worked on several David Attenborough specials, Disney’s “African Cats,” hosted BBC’s “Big Cat Live” and co-starred in “Big Cat Tales.” He will be joined by Maasai Warriors and premier guides Salaash Morompi and Fred Ronko, who bring their big personalities to the tour as well.

 

What: A 15-day RV/motorcoach tour to introduce these Maasai men to some of the magnificent natural wonders of the Western United States including The Grand Canyon, Zion National Park, Yellowstone National Park and more. Along the way, they will interact with locals and participate in activities not typical to the Mara. They will lead evening receptions to share their passion for Kenya and its abundant wildlife, enlighten participants about the conservation needs of their native land, and promote tourism to Kenya’s Masai Mara.

 

Why: To promote tourism to Kenya’s Masai Mara, and raise funds for the Mara Siana Foundation* by sharing our cultures as they experience some of America’s breathtaking regions. You’re personally invited to connect with and immerse yourself in this amazing world through a rare opportunity to spend time up close and personal with some of its native ambassadors, and hopefully, visit them one day!

 

*The Mara Siana Foundation is a non-profit organization working towards a harmonious balance between conservation and sustainable human development in the Maasai Mara. They manage and support a multitude of projects within the local community to achieve this goal.
