Did you ever feel like fighting a lion with a blanket and a spear?

Fancy spending some time wandering the plains of Kenya fighting off lions with a spear and a blanket? Now you can.

Fancy spending some time wandering the plains of Kenya fighting off lions with a spear and a blanket? Now you can.

Yes, you too can now be a Masai warrior, well for six days anyway. A company called Maji Moto will take you on a six-day course in Kenya, teaching you all you need to know about bushcraft, weapons and tracking skills. We would prefer if they told you where the nearest hotel with a decent bar was but each to their own.

At night you sleep out under the stars with just a blanket between you and nature’s most fearsome creature, and the Masai’s arch enemy, the lion. Probably not a great night’s sleep then.

The fee for this pleasure is in the region of €900 (excluding flightsa) and there’s no info on what happens if you get eaten while there.

We assume your next of kin gets a refund.
