A landscape view of parts of Loita forest.

Loita Forest, or Naimina Enkiyio, meaning the Forest of the Lost Child, is situated in the south-west part of the country, directly adjacent to the plains of the Masai Mara, and the Great Rift Valley, Kenya.

In addition to being our home, it is also home to a range of wildlife, plants and tree species.

We also consider Loita to be very sacred, and it is where many of the blessings and our initiation cultural practices take place.

Although for a long time Loita Forest has provided a safe haven for us Maasai, in the past few years, we have been seeing the impacts of climate change manifest here in erratic rainfall patterns, and extreme cases of flooding, or extended periods of drought.
