RATES LODGE COMMUNITY TASSIA LIFE
 
"The sky subsides to stone-washed pink,
And dusk sweeps away her glare,
Unending sounds from the night’s cool palm,
Whoop and lowly growl - a soft lullaby to tired lashes,
Adventures await, to seek and prowl."
 
Gemma Hall
 
Tassia offers a wide range of activities and is a base for adventure as well as game drives.  Exploring on foot is the main attraction and is the best way to discover the wonders of the wilderness.
 
Walking up dry riverbeds offers an excellent opportunity to view game at close quarters.  After the rains when the luggas are flowing there are idyllic waterfalls and plunge pools for wallowing.  This stunning location lends itself perfectly to bush breakfasts, picnic lunches and sundowners.
In addition, Tassia offers guided camel walks and overnight camping in the bush.
 
For the intrepid explorer, a climb to the summit of Mount Lossos should not be missed, especially for keen paragliders!
 
Guests are guided and hosted by people who have a deep knowledge and empathy for their surroundings.  The Mokogodo Maasai coexist with the wildlife, which accounts for the abundance of flora and fauna on the Lekurruki Group Ranch.
The Mokogodo forest has a thriving and diverse population of wildlife, butterflies, birds (over 300 species), plants and trees.  Wild dog, giraffe, impala, gerenuk and kudu can be seen during the day.  The valley in front of the lodge which is full of riverine trees and shrubs, is popular with the elephant and buffalo who frequent the area.  Leopard and smaller cats such as genet, civet and caracal can sometimes be seen on early evening game drives and, nocturnally, aardvark, aardwolf, striped and spotted hyena.
