Discovered by the Mau Mau in the 1950s, Kakiya Cave is now integral to Masai tribal life, serving as a site for rituals, ancestor worship, and traditional medicine preparation. The name 'Kakiya' translates to 'the place of eating and drinking,' reflecting its communal significance. Visitors can reach the cave via a scenic 15-minute drive followed by a short walk or a 2 ½ hour round trip walk directly from Mara Bushtops. Upon arrival, guests learn traditional fire-making techniques and explore the cave's red ochre depictions of wild animals and warriors. The visit not only reveals the historical practices of the Masai but also emphasizes the importance of conservation, a theme that has replaced hunting as a rite of passage. This experience, enriched by learning about medicinal plants and participating in communal activities, offers a profound connection to the enduring traditions of the Masai culture.
