Visit to a Maasai village with interaction with the local younger children which would involve:

• Learning how to throw a spear
• Learning how to use a bow and arrow
• Building a Maasai homestead, tending sheep and calves and fetching water
• Learning to make  fire with a pair of sticks    

Butterfly catching and identification.  Did you know that there are over 800 types of butterflies in Kenya.

Spoor Casting, casting animal tracks from the real thing along the Talek River.  One sure sign of an animal’s passing is the imprints left by its feet.  Good sites in which to look for tracks include muddy shorelines of waterholes, the sand and mud banks along rivers.

Game drives with emphasis on mammal behaviour

Night walks within the camp site tracking the nocturnal animals e.g. bush babies, dik dik and white tailed mongoose, monitoring their movements and counting them

Morning nature walks, learning about the most common trees of Mara Intrepids and their uses and bird identification followed by an animal and bird sound quiz

Cultural talks, slide shows and video shows on the Maasai culture, animals in the Maasai Mara and bush

Indoor games e.g.  Dung identification, skull and bones identification, etc.  i) Most people turn their noses up when one starts to discuss droppings as an aid to species identification. Shape, size and structure of the droppings are important.

It is also a great help to take a close look at the location, quantity of droppings present and any other signs close by such as tracks, e.g. animals that eat plant food tend to produce larger quantities of droppings than carnivores. Droppings are a source of food for many insects, e.g. dung beetle and termites.
