Nairobi City - Samburu National Reserve

You will be picked up from the airport with a briefing, thereafter you will be driven north past the equator to the Northern Frontier district. Continue to the semi-arid Samburu National Reserve and check in at your campsite. There will be time to settle in before your safari adventure.

Samburu is also known for some rather unique wildlife not usually seen elsewhere. A visit to the reserve will offer you sightings of memorable species such as Grevy’s zebra, the reticulated giraffe, and the Beisa oryx. This is also one of the few parks where you have a good chance of spotting African wild dogs. On game drives over the savannah, through acacia forest and riverine vegetation, there will be numerous opportunities to view kingfisher, marabou, vulture, guinea fowl, Somali ostrich, egret, falcon, and eagle. Set out for an afternoon game drive in the reserve and return to the lodge before dark. Dinner and overnight will be at Samburu simba Lodge.

Samburu National Reserve

Set out for an early morning game drive in the Samburu National Reserve. This is usually the most popular game-viewing time. During the early hours, the temperatures are low, thus providing a favorable atmosphere for the game and the viewer. Lion, cheetah, and leopard roam the vast grasslands in search of their next meal - it may be an unsuspecting impala or even a small animal like a warthog. Whatever the players, the spectacle of nature unfolding is always awe-inspiring.

Back at the lodge, enjoy your sumptuous breakfast and later have your lunch in the park during the game drive. Return to your accommodation at Samburu Simba Lodge before dark and enjoy dinner at 19h30.

Samburu National Reserve - Lake Nakuru National Park

After an early breakfast, depart for a morning game drive in the reserve en-route to the gate. Drive in a southern direction to the equator for a stop. Here, the locals do a water demonstration to qualify the position of the equator and for a small tip, you could be awarded an equator certificate. After the brief stop, drive to Thompson's Falls for a photo stop and then continue down to the Great Rift Valley. As you ascend the eastern wall of the Rift Valley, lush coffee and tea plantations reveal themselves and your driver-guide will give you a brief talk about coffee farming in Kenya.

On arrival at Lake Nakuru Lodge in Lake Nakuru National Park, check into your hotel room and have lunch. Spend some time relaxing as you await the afternoon game drive.

After breakfast, head south and pass through Naivasha town. You will drive around the southern end of the lake, past the flower farms to the entrance of Hell’s Gate National Park. Soon after you enter the park, the impressive landscape unfolds before you - a semi-arid world with sheer rugged cliffs, open plains, and deeply concealed gorges. An afternoon boat ride (at an extra cost) among colonies of hippos will be the ideal view over Lake Naivasha.
