Game reserve arriving at your camp in time for lunch.

the Masai.

Scenically and finally dramatic, for most of the year Samburu is safe under the
unsympathetic equatorial sun. This arid wilderness is a place where the waters of the Ewaso Ngiro
attract a profusion of game. This beautiful area is known for its large herds of elephants and elusive
leopards as well as northern endemic species including the gerenuk Somali Ostrich, Beisa Oryx and
reticulated giraffe.
First afternoon game drive before you return in the evening at your camp for dinner and overnight.

game drive and return to the camp for a leisurely lunch and time to relax before going out
game viewing again in the cooler hours of the afternoon.

The Samburu people are some of the friendliest in Kenya. Originally a nomadic tribe, the
Samburu today still embraces their nomadic culture. They live north of the equator in the
geographically fascinating Samburu County of Northern Kenya and are closely related to the
Maasai tribe who speak a similar language, derived from Maa. Evening return to your camp
for dinner and overnight.

Day 5: Samburu Game Reserve – Lake Nakuru National Park

After breakfast you will proceed by road to Lake Nakuru National Park arriving at your camp in time
for lunch. There is time to relax after lunch before departing for an afternoon game drive in the park.
Lake Nakuru National Park is best known for its migrating flamingos and its large flocks of pelicans,
however, recently the lake’s rising water levels has reduced the salinity of water in the lake thereby
reducing algae, the main food for flamingos.

When this happens the migrating flamingos move to
Lake Bogoria. There are over 450 bird species at the lake and a thriving mammal population
including buffalos, baboons, impalas, Rothschild giraffes, bush backs and waterbucks. A rhino
sanctuary was established to protect this highly endangered species. The parkland surrounding the
Lake has acacia and euphorbia forests as well as areas of grassland and rocky cliffs.
Later in the evening you will return to your camp for dinner and overnight.

game drive on this day we will invoice
$ 100 per person from Jan -June extra

Day 7: Masai Mara Game Reserve

This day will be spent game viewing in Kenya’s finest wildlife park, the Masai Mara National Reserve
in search of Africa’s Big Five and the plethora of other wildlife inhabiting this vast Kenyan game
reserve.
On clear days, the Masai Mara offers fantastic orange tinged sunset’s well-worth capturing on camera.
The Masai Mara Game Reserve has incredible wide-open landscapes and fertile riverine woodland
following the looping meanders of the Mara and Talek rivers in Kenya. One glimpse is enough to
explain its appeal; it is classical open savannah, with a mass of amazing wildlife.

Wherever you go in the vast Masai Mara you will see an abundance of wildlife such as Masai giraffe, baboons, warthogs, bat eared foxes, grey jackals, spotted hyena, topis, impala, hartebeests, wildebeest. Elephants, buffaloes, zebras and hippos are also found in great numbers. It is also common to see lions either basking after a heavy meal or surveying the wild plains for their next meal. Cheetahs and leopards are harder to spot but reasonably common.

The ultimate action here is, without doubt, the annual
wildebeest exodus, the Great Migration, in July and August when millions of these grass eaters move
north from the Serengeti in search of lusher grass before turning south again in October.
Hot-air balloon trips are an entirely outstanding way of seeing the savannah plains teeming with
wildlife. These Masai Mara balloon trips can be arranged at extra cost.

Day 10: Full day in Amboseli National Park

Another day spend in Amboseli National Park.
Amboseli is often called the ‘Land of Giants’ – due to the impressive elephants here carrying massive
tusks. The animals are set against breathtaking vistas of Mt Kilimanjaro, which makes an awesome
backdrop to the small park. Aside from elephants, many plains animals are easy to spot. Fantastic
photo opportunities are possible, and early mornings are best for clear views of Kilimanjaro.

Amboseli offers great wildlife viewing, and four of the Big Five are present. Rhinos are absent, but
big herds of elephants reliably move to and from the marshy swamps in the center of the park.
Buffalo, wildebeest, Burchell’s zebra and gazelle are all very common. Lions are the easiest to spot of
the big cats, but sightings are hit-and-miss.
All meals will be served at your camp. Kibo Safari Camp (Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner)
