Loita Forest

Loita and “the forest of the lost child” - Loita Naimena Enkiyio forest - is an Africa that most travellers never see, straddled as it is between two iconic destinations in East Africa. In the west the hills roll down to the game rich country of the Serengeti and Maasai Mara. In the east the high-forested hills drop dramatically in two giant steps down the Great Rift Valley to the salt lakes of Magadi and Tanzania's Natron. The Loitas provide a microcosm of the diverse habitats that East Africa has to offer.
