DAY 6-9: SAMBURU

Time to get to one of Kenya’s lesser visited Parks, Samburu. Here the arid, desert-like climate will show you different species of giraffe, zebra and gazelle to what you have seen in the Mara including the more elegant Grevy’s Zebra and reticulated Giraffe. Relax by the Ewayo Niyro River in your gorgeous tented camp and enjoy the dusty heat of Northern Kenya. For those seeking some more activity and adventure, a trek to the top of Mount Ololokwe is breathtaking. A Samburu Warrior will lead you up the 2000m flat topped rock with the most incredible views of Kenya’s dramatic Northern Frontier.

DAY 10: BACK TO NAIROBI

Time to head back to Nairobi. Whether we fly or drive you, you might be lucky enough to spot the summit of Mount Kenya on the way. Spend the day or even another night exploring Nairobi’s colourful Masai Markets, craft shops or Nairobi National Park. Kenya will leave you yearning to come back and there is always more to explore in this diverse safari destination.

Lets get planning and start your Journey to Africa..

 

DAY 1: Nairobi

Having landed at Jomo Kenyatta Airport, you will spend the day in the bustling city of Nairobi. Just outside the city is the famous Giraffe Mannor and the Daphe Sheldrick Elephant Orphange. Both are incredible experiences that get you up close and personal with two animals you will see on your upcoming safari. 

Day 2-5: Masai Mara

Having spent the night in the city, its time to head to Kenya’s well know gem,The Masai Mara. Game viewing here is top notch, especially during the great migration where you can watch dramatic river crossings of millions of Zebra and Giraffe. It is quite something watching huge Nile crocodiles wait in the shallows for unknowing wildebeest to cross their paths. It will leave you both shocked an in awe of nature’s brutality. Aside from game viewing, ballon safaris, champagne bush breakfasts, gorgeous sundowners and relaxing at your stunning tented camp is all on the cards.
