Watha Bushcraft Training & Trail Walks
Roriston exclusively and proudly presents a responsible eco-tourism experience of Kenyan wilderness through the eyes of indigenous Watha people. Relatively little has been documented about the Watha. Yet to those who have heard of them, they hold a near mythical status as masters of the deep and wild places. This hunter gather tribe is referred to by many different names from different groups adding to their obscurity and mystery, but for those in the know, one uniform opinion is agreed upon: the Watha are expert trackers, with the most profound understanding of elephants in Africa.
With Roriston, you can experience this unrivalled intimacy with the African elephant by walking trails alongside our expert Watha trackers. Roriston can also arrange for you to visit or stay at a traditional Watha village, where you will have the opportunity to witness and learn animal behavior and bush craft from Watha legends. Learn how to build their traditional huts, make fire from friction, which wild plants can be eaten or used for medicine, how to make traditional Watha bows, arrows and traps. Experience thousands of generations of wisdom as the Watha explain animal behaviour and tracking through the lens of their history, folklore and storytelling dances.
