Maasai Warrior Introductory Training
An exhilarating experience of being initiated into some of the fundamental customs of the Maasai warrior traditions, the course is concentrated on how we defend ourselves out in the bush far from home and how to protect the homestead's livestock from predators including wild animals.
NOTE: There are also two other trainings which are more dense; the survivor training which is 7 days long and the full course which takes a duration of 12 days.We can organise these as well.
