And now you have begun to conjure up the magic that is Lions Bluff.

Battlefield tour

A great deal of the World War 1 war fought, won and lost by the European super powers and their allies in our backyard. Lions Bluff is close to the strategic arena in the East African campaign of World War 1. We host a series of unique battlefield tours which retrace the battle lines of perhaps the most strange campaign in British and German military history. On the landscape around you is where they conducted a campaign to deny the Germans access to the Mombasa-Uganda railway line. Battles ensued, involving blowing up railway lines, Rolls Royce armoured cars, field guns salvaged from a sunken Royal Navy Cruiser and rickety aircraft from the Royal Naval Air Service and Royal Flying Corps.

Imperial troops came from many sources including the British Indian Army, European settlers in Kenya and South African volunteers. Both sides also used a large numbers of locally recruited askaris. There were huge logistical problems such as poor communications, disease and lack of water. Indian Army engineers laid a water pipeline in 1916 from the high hills to the north east of Lions Bluff to Maktau and this is still in use today. The railway line they constructed is still to be seen in several places alongside the road from Voi towards the turn off to Lions Bluff.

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.

Cultural trip

As part of our extensive eco-interface we offer cultural visits to local villages and schools. For the Taita Village visit, you are invited to enter a typical ethnic home and participate in cooking a traditional meal and enjoying it, with the families. Or help in the local beer making process and if you like tasting too. Visitors are welcomed to watch and participate in the traditional dance mwazindika. Interaction with the locals in their daily activities include sisal basket weaving, beading, crotchet, wood carving and pottery when possible. You will have the opportunity to see how the farmers manage crops such as dry land beans and see the pastoral activity of cattle and goat rearing.

Part of the eco- cultural revolution, cultural visits play a vital part both in ensuring that the people of East Africa benefit from the national tourism income. That way, they sustain and support the Africa’s ancient cultural heritage for the future. All the members of the visited villages will receive payment from the Sanctuary which helps to provide benefits such as clean water, health education and employment. A naturally welcoming and friendly people, the Taita folk are genuinely happy to welcome guests and meet people from other countries.

Nature trail

The rangers especially enjoy teaching children the tracks, signs, insects and bushes around the Lions Bluff itself. They teach you which roots and leaves are edible. They will also teach you which of them the local people use to put spells on your enemies. Examine spider nets, collect quartz rock or leaves to make a refreshing tea. Identify birds by their call and enjoy them in the bush.
