Battlefield tour
Bush breakfast
In 1918 news of the Armistice was received by the German forces, by now forced to retreat far to the south of current day Tanzania, three days after the war in Europe had ended. Shout at the devil, a book commemorating the campaign was written and later turned into a film. A newsreel filmed in this area also exists in the Imperial War Museum. Apart from these, all that remains of this bitter and bloody campaign are the gravestones of soldiers in the Commonwealth War Cemeteries in Maktau and Voi together with the detritus of war on the remains of nearby hilltop forts and camps. The tour covers Mwashoti Village, Salita Hill Village, Picket Hill, Maktau Indian Commonwealth war graves in the remembrance of the fallen heros and ends at the World War 1 museum in Taita Hills Lodge. The tour is conducted by guides, trained by great historians.
Bush walk
Awake with the African Sunrise and take a drive in our open-sided game vehicle to an area where it is safe to walk in the wilderness. Accompanied by Lumo community wildlife sanctuary’s skilled rangers, walk amongst the tracks and signs, flora and fauna of this protected area. This is a gentle ramble, suitable for all ages for those with an enquiring mind about the world around them. Allow our ranger to enjoy showing you the environment in which they grew up, their intimate knowledge of the insects, birds, tracks and signs. Learn which bushes are used to cure tummy ache, which store water underground and how to light a fire without using matches. Our vehicle will follow you at a discreet distance so that, should you tire, you can simply return to the lodge.
