Itinerary

You will be picked up from your hotel or airport and proceed to Samburu National Reserve. Take a drive to the mystical, dry, rugged, and stunning semi-desert; Samburu Game Reserve. We will arrive at camp with enough time to settle in before lunch with a little time to relax before we head out for our first game drive between 1600hrs to 1830hrs. Due to its remote distance and the fact that it was inaccessible for many years, the park has retained a naturally serene and quiet feeling. The reserve’s topography is mainly open savannah (grassland) with clusters of acacia trees, forest, thorn trees, and grassland vegetation and the surrounding is an area of spectacular scenery with its dry plains bisected by the meandering life lung Ewaso Nyiro River that cuts through this reserve, drawing a big population of wildlife to the park. Dinner and overnight at the Camp.

Rise up early for breakfast, check out, and depart Samburu National Reserve with packed lunch boxes. Samburu is home to all the members of the ‘Big Five’ (elephant, rhino, lion, buffalo, and leopard), the conservancy has a higher wildlife-to-area ratio than any Kenyan national park and is one of only four private game conservancies to have been founded in Kenya. Return to the camp later in the evening to freshen up, have dinner, bonfire, and overnight at the camp.

Host to all the members of the ‘Big Five’ (elephant, rhino, lion, buffalo, and leopard), the conservancy has a higher wildlife-to-area ratio than any Kenyan national park and is one of only four private game conservancies to have been founded in Kenya. At the forefront of the Kenyan conservancy program, the conservancy boasts the largest black rhino sanctuary in East Africa, hosts the only chimpanzee sanctuary in Kenya, and shelters large numbers of rare and endangered species.

Lake Nakuru National Park offers you a rare insight into Kenya’s most diverse flora, fauna, and wildlife and is famous for its huge flocks of pink flamingoes. The birds throng on Lake Nakuru itself, one of the Rift Valley soda lakes that comprises almost a third of the park’s area. More than 450 species of birds have been recorded here as well as a rich diversity of other wildlife. Lions, leopards, waterbucks, pythons, and white rhinos are just some of the animals you might see, and the landscapes range from sweeping grasslands bordering the lake to rocky cliffs and woodland.
