Detailed
Itinerary
Day
1
Nairobi – Samburu Game Reserve
This
morning we travel by road to Kenya’s northern
frontier. Wild and rugged, Samburu is fiercely beautiful
with its arid savannahs watered by the lovely Uaso
Nyiro River. It is also one of Kenya’s most
protected areas and home to species only found north
of the equator, from the reticulated giraffe to Grevy’s
zebras and Beisa oryxes. We also enjoy Larsens Tented
Camp or Samburu Intrepids Camp, our luxurious hostelry
set beneath a canopy of acacia trees along the banks
of the river.

2
Samburu Game Reserve
Dawn
breaks in golden bands as we start our day in the
bush by scanning the river from our tent’s veranda
with a cup of steaming coffee in hand. Before the
dew is off the grass, we’re off in pursuit of
the elephants, lions, leopards, and cheetahs that
thrive in the reserve’s grasslands and acacia
woodlands. And so the day is spent in alternating
pursuits of exploration in the bush and relaxation
in our cozy camp.

Samburu – Lake Nakuru National Park
Depart
in the morning and drive to the floor of the Rift
Valley – to Lake Nakuru National Park making
a brief stop at Nyahururu Thomson Falls. Arrive at
Lake Nakuru Lodge or Sarova Lion Hill in time for
lunch. Afternoon, conduct a ‘Spice’ game
drive. The Lake is famous for flamingos as well as
over 400 other species of birds. In addition, many
species of game can be found in the Park including
the introduced Rothschild's giraffe, black and White
Rhino, Waterbuck, Reed buck, Lion, Buffalo, Leopard,
Baboon and many species of plains game.

Lake Nakuru National Park
– Masai Mara Game Reserve
Breakfast
at the lodge then drive via the Great Rift Valley
to arrive in Masai Mara in time for lunch at your
Lodge or Camp. The Mara offers wildlife in such variety
and abundance that it is difficult to believe; over
450 species of animals have been recorded here. You
will easily see Lions, Rhinos, Hippos, Crocodiles,
Giraffe, Wildebeests, Zebras, Buffalo, Warthogs, Hyenas,
and Jackals, Wild dogs, Buffalo, Leopard and a variety
of antelopes.
It is in the Mara that the most spectacular event
of the natural wonders of the world takes place. This
is the annual migration of millions of wildebeest
and zebra from the Serengeti (Tanzania) in search
of water and pasture. Behind their heels are predators
of the savanna – Lion, Cheetah, and Wild dog,
Jackal, Hyena and Vultures. Depart for an afternoon
‘Spice’ game drive until dusk.
Overnight at Sarova Mara Tented Camp or Siana Springs

5 & Day
6
Masai Mara Game Reserve
We
spend two full days in the Masai Mara on morning and
afternoon ‘Spice’ game drives. The trees
in the distance might turn out to be a family of Giraffes.
Those clump of bushes a pride of Lions, and the rock
that moves a Rhino lumbering out of your way. With
diligence and some luck, you may encounter a family
of Cheetahs, or a herd of Elephants crossing the path
in front of you. Large animals are not the only entertainment
– a family of warthogs may amuse you, running
as fast as their little legs will carry them, until
they forget why they are rushing and stop to regroup.
