Ilkeliani
is the name given to the age group of the young Masai
warrior. The young warrior is thus an ilkeliani before
he becomes the il Moran. To become a warrior is the
dream of every Masai youth; the word itself seems to
convey magical powers .A warrior must be strong, clever,
courageous, confident, wise and gentle.
Warriors
enjoy great comradeship, sharing with one another everything
from food to girl friends. In addition to the practical
services they provide for the group they live among,
warriors also add an immeasurable sense of excitement,
adventure, and romance; without their songs, their poetry,
their flirting, their bold masculinity, Masai life would
not be the same.

trained to a high standard. They have grown up in the
area and have an instinctive talent for spotting game
and natural ability to read animal spoor, as well as
signs of an impending natural event, be it a river crossing
or a predator kill.
The guides will be also
be happy to share their cultural background with you,
and may even take you outside the reserve to visit their
Masai homesteads, depending on your day's game viewing
schedule.
Those guests who are
interested in cultural visits should ideally book extra

Your day will be planned
by your driver-guide, who is in the best position to
know where the animals are that day, including where
the last crossings were made, whether there are new
resident lions in the area or nomad lions passing through.
Working in the area they love and know so intimately,
they are the experts.
