The Itinerary
Day 1 - Samburu:
Depart Nairobi in the morning, passing through the rich agricultural farmland on the slopes of Mountain Kenya to the mainly dry scrub land and open Savannah plains of Samburu Game Reserve. Here the Ewaso Nyiro River supports a wide variety of game among them elephant, buffalo, cheetah leopard, lion, grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe, oryx and the long necked gerenuk. Meals and overnight at our camping site.
Day 2 - Samburu:
Day spent game viewing in the park and a dip in Buffalo Springs during the hot afternoon may be refreshing. Meals and overnight at the camping site.
Day 3 - Baringo:
Leaving Samburu in the early morning, we make a scenic drive to the west across the Lerochi Plateau, (lunch enroute) and later descend to the floor of the Great Rift Valley, arriving at Lake Baringo in the afternoon. This is a fresh water lake which supports a great variety of birds as well as hippos and crocodiles. Indeed, the lake is reputed to be the bird-watching centre of Kenya. Meals and overnight at our camping site.
Day 4 - Lake Nakuru:
Early in the morning we head south via Lake Bogoria which is a shallow soda lake with a beautiful scenery and also home to a sizeable number of flamingoes and other species of birds. The highlight, however, is the boiling hot springs and geysers which also contribute to the beauty of the lake. After lunch, we proceed to Lake Nakuru in the south - another shallow soda lake which has been described as "an ornithologist's paradise and one of the world's most magnificent sights". Here one has an opportunity to see up to two million flamingoes besides tens of thousands of other birds if lucky. Lake Nakuru also has rhino sanctuary and also harbors lions, warthogs, waterbucks, buffaloes, hippo and many other animals. Dinner and overnight at our camping site.
Day 5 - Maasai Mara:
We proceed further south to Narok, camping in our permanent campsite on the Talek River which is at the edge of the park by afternoon. Accommodation is in large stand-up tents with beds, if available, or we pitch tent. Showers are available in the camping and meals are served in the dining mess or in the open.
Day 6 - Maasai Mara:
From the base camp, we explore the Mara region, packed with the elephant, zebra, rhino and all kinds of game throughout the year with the spectacular wildebeest migration from Serengeti occurring mainly in July and August. Being at Maasai Mara is "as if you found yourself in the New York of the natural world according to some authorities". Indeed, you have the best opportunity of seeing all the big five. Meals and overnight at the camping site.
Day 7 - Nairobi:
We break camp and drive to Narok where Maasai souvenirs can be bought and then proceed to Nairobi.
