You will travel north to the land of the Samburu, the cousins of the Masai community. You will pass through the foot of Mount Kenya and if you are lucky, you will see the snow-capped peaks.

The desert climate necessitating the growth of acacia umbrella trees and other tropical desert vegetation makes Samburu one of the most special game parks in the country.

Masai Mara National Reserve
Masai Mara National Reserve
You will have breakfast at the camp, and proceed for a morning game drive in the reserve with lunch boxes ready for a full day. You'll embark on an afternoon game drive in the reserve until sunset. You can visit a Maasai village this afternoon and pay on the ground. Your dinner and overnight stay will be at Enkorok Camp.
Masai Mara offers an absolutely unique variety of animals. The reason is that this hilly region is both humid and fertile, and is crossed by the rivers Mara and Talek, full of crocodiles and hippos. The banks of the rivers are covered in thick forest, which gradually makes way for bush and grassland. The abundance of water and excellent availability of food are the reasons why the Masai Mara, which in fact is a continuance of the Tanzanian Serengeti National Park, has the greatest population of wild animals in the whole of Africa. There is a particularly dramatic “spectacle” from July to November, the annual migration of huge herds of gnus and zebras.
