Day 1, Samburu Game Reserve
From Nairobi, pass the majestic Mt. Kenya en route to the
open savannah of Samburu Game Reserve. We camp in the narrow
stretch of palms and woodland by the Ewaso Nyiro River which
provides water for the animals and some relief from the
equatorial sun.
The
highlights of Samburu game reserve is the spectacular scenic
beauty, rivers and forests. It is an area where the local
people have a rich and colorful heritage. The reserves have
numerous permanent springs and a wealth of wildlife which
includes leopard, hippo, elephant, lion, reticulated
giraffe, grevy’s zebra and crocodile in the Ewaso Nyiro
River. Over 365 species of birds have been identified in the
sanctuaries
Day 2, Samburu Game Reserve
Enjoy a full day of game viewing along the river banks and
surrounding scrublands with time out from the midday sun for
a refreshing swim at Buffalo Springs. This is a particularly
good place to spot elephant and antelope.
This fresh water lake
supports an abundance of birdlife alongside hippos and
crocodiles that languish on the lake shore
Day 3, Lake Baringo, Great Rift Valley
Leaving Samburu, cross the Lerochi Plateau and descend to
the floor of the Great Rift Valley, arriving at Lake Baringo
by early afternoon. This fresh water lake supports an
abundance of birdlife alongside hippos and crocodiles that
languish on the lake shore.
Day 4, Lake Bogoria, Lake Nakuru
At the nearby Lake Bogoria visit an area of bubbling hot
springs and steaming geysers, and admire the pink swathes of
flamingos on the soda lake. Then at Lake Nakuru National
Park enjoy an afternoon game drive, where we literally trip
over the many rhino in the park, and if lucky might see a
pride of lion languishing in the shade, or leopard in the
Acacia trees.
Day 5 - 6, Masai Mara
Travel south through the beautiful savannahs and plains of
the Rift Valley and reach our base camp site, where we enjoy
another evening out bush under the far-reaching African sky.
Spend the next day on game drives exploring the Masai Mara.
The open grasslands are home to incredibly rich and varied
wildlife and the awesome, annual migration of millions of
wildebeest and antelope is the highlight of any visit to
Africa from July to September.
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,
jackals, wild dogs, buffalo, leopard, many kinds of
antelopes and elephant. It is in the Mara that perhaps the
most spectacular event of the natural world takes place.
This is the annual migration of millions of wildebeest and
zebra from the Serengeti (Tanzania) in search of water and
pasture. Following on their heels are the predators of the
savanna- lion, cheetah, wild dog, jackal, hyena and vultures
