Of course you may do both! You are free to enjoy any activity that suits you. Our diversity of birdlife is perfect for those with the hobby; look out for birds of prey soaring up the escarpment. Listen to one of our Maasai’s talking about his cultural lifestyle or watch some traditional dances that will make your hips sway.
