Tour Itinerary:
Day 1: Samburu Intrepids, Samburu National Reserve
On arrival in Nairobi you will be met by your qualified, professional safari guide who will accompany you throughout the safari. Commence the journey by road in our specially customized luxury 4WD safari vehicle taking you through wonderful everchanging terrains. Lunch is a short stopover at a delightful restaurant just outside Nanyuki, before the short drive to Samburu, home for elephants, lions and an abundance of game.
Day 2: Samburu Intrepids
After an early wake up call, spend the day exploring Samburu & Buffalo Springs National Reserves. After lunch and an afternoon at leisure, take an evening game drive before returning to camp for dinner. The river here is the arterial lifeline for many endemic species e.g. Reticulated Giraffe, Grevy’s Zebra, Gerenuk and Oryx.
Day 3: Sabuk Lodge, Laikipia
Depart from camp early in the morning, with a picnic lunch, for a 5-hour drive through dramatic semi-desert countryside, arriving at Sabuk, on the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River. Relax, maybe swim in the river or just enjoy the uninterrupted view across the Laikipia plains. Enjoy an early evening bush sundowner or a short walk from camp, watching the sun set behind the hills. The elusive Greater Kudu and large Elephant herds can be seen on the walks.
Day 4: Sabuk Lodge
Set off in the cool early morning for a walk or ride with camels. Led by a professional safari guide and his team of trained Masai trekkers, the walk takes you across the hills with glimpses of the Ewaso Nyiro river. Brunch is under the acacia trees. Take an afternoon swim in a natural rock pool. Return to Sabuk Lodge for campfire sundowners and dinner.
Day 5: Sabuk Fly Camp
The day will be spent walking with and / or riding a camel assisted safari. Your guide and professional crew of Samburu warriors will accompany you and set up a fly camp for 1 night along the dramatic gorges of the tumbling Ewaso Nyiro River. The trek is easy and great for inquisitive family groups wishing to learn more about bushcraft and its natural inhabitants at close quarters.
Day 6: Lion Hill, Lake Nakuru
Returning back to the Sabuk lodge just after sunrise and a hearty bush breakfast we then depart and drive down the escarpments and across to the Rift Valley, arriving at Lion Hill in time for lunch. World famous for its millions of shimmering pink flamingoes; Lake Nakuru is an ornithologists’ mecca. Flotillas of Pelicans swimming by, hundreds of storks, herons and egrets add to this natural menagerie of colour. The park is also one of the few reserves left where one can see both Black & White Rhinos in the wild. Together with lurking Lions, Giraffes and Leopards, Lake Nakuru provides excellent game viewing amongst the yellow–barked acacia forests.
Day 7: Elephant Pepper Camp, Masai Mara
After an early start from Lion Hill, we drive slowly up the other side of the Rift Valley onto the Mau Escarpment and through the verdant tea growing zones of Kericho. We make a gentle descent down to the Masai Mara, arriving in camp for lunch. Elephant Pepper camp is at a specially chosen site, away from the busy tourist circuit. This secluded camp offers you the traditional safari experience in one of Kenya’s most famous wildlife havens.
