The itinerary

Nairobi to Samburu National Reserve

Meet and greet your Kenya tour guide early in the morning at your hotel or at the airport.
Drive north to the northern frontier county.
Continue to the semi-arid Samburu National Reserve and check in at Sentrim Lodge.

Day 02

Game Drives in Samburu National Reserve

Wake up by 6:30 am and set out for an early morning game drive in the reserve. This is usually the most popular game-viewing time. During the early hours, temperatures are low, thus providing a favourable atmosphere for both the game and the viewer. Lion, cheetah, and leopard roam the vast grasslands in search of their next meal; it may be an unsuspecting impala or even a smaller animal like the warthog. Whatever the players, the spectacle of nature unfolding is always awe-inspiring.
Return to the lodge for a sumptuous mid-morning breakfast.
Lunch will be served at the lodge. Spend the rest of the day at your own leisure, relaxing by the pool.
Proceed for the 4:00 pm afternoon game drive.

Return to the lodge before dark for dinner and overnight.

Meal Plan: Breakfast, lunch and dinner.
