8-Day Kenya Safari through Samburu, Nakuru, Naivasha and Amboseli

• Your guide-driver will pick you up from the airport and brief you on the safari.
• You will then drive north, crossing the equator on your way to the Northern Frontier District.
• Continue to the semi-arid Samburu National Reserve and check in at your campsite. Lunch will be served at the lodge, followed by time to settle in before your afternoon safari adventure.
• Later, set out for an afternoon game drive in the reserve.
• You will enjoy twice-daily game drives, during which you may see huge and majestic elephants, lions, leopards, and cheetahs, as well as all of the "Special Five": the beisa oryx, reticulated giraffe, Grevy's zebra, gerenuk antelope, and Somali ostrich. In the hot and arid lowlands of northern Kenya, with doum palms and over 450 species of birds, there are exciting experiences to keep you fascinated over the next day or two.

Dinner and overnight stay will be at your camp/lodge.

• Set out early for a full-day game drive in Samburu Reserve. Morning is usually the most popular time for game viewing, as the lower temperatures create a favourable atmosphere for both wildlife and visitors. Lions, cheetahs, and leopards roam the vast grasslands in search of their next meal - perhaps an unsuspecting impala or even a small animal like a warthog. Watching the spectacle of nature unfold from the pop-up roof is always unforgettable.

Dinner and overnight stay will be at the camp/lodge.

• Enjoy an early morning game drive when the animals are most active.
• Look out for predators such as lions, cheetahs, and leopards, as well as elephants and other herbivores.
• Return to the lodge for breakfast and some time to relax.
• After an optional visit to a Samburu village, have lunch at your lodge/camp and relax.
• Later, head out for an evening game drive, when the light is perfect for photography and the animals are more active.

Dinner and overnight at the camp/lodge.

• Have an early breakfast at the camp.
• Then drive to Lake Nakuru National Park for game drives. The park is surrounded by wooded and bushy grassland and is ideal for bird watching, hiking, picnics, and viewing the endangered black rhinos.
• You will return to the camp for dinner and your overnight stay.

• The day begins with an extensive game drive in Lake Nakuru National Park. This alkaline lake is home to millions of pink flamingos that line its shores, while the lake ecosystem also supports over 400 species of birds. The park's cliff tops serve as excellent viewpoints for wildlife, and it is one of the few places in Kenya where you can see both white and black rhinos in the same place, as it is also a rhino sanctuary.
• Later, exit the park and drive to Lake Naivasha, a beautiful freshwater lake fringed by thick papyrus and stretching almost 13 km across. The lake attracts a wide range of wildlife to its shores. Giraffes wander among the acacia trees, buffalos wallow in the swamps, and Colobus monkeys call from the treetops, while the lake's large hippo population spends the day resting in the shallows.

Dinner and overnight at the camp.

• After breakfast, depart for Amboseli via Nairobi and drive south through Maasai land to the plains below Mount Kilimanjaro, where Amboseli is located.
• After an en-route picnic lunch with the majestic backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro, enjoy spectacular wildlife sightings, including lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos, cheetahs, buffalos, and various plains game. Postcard-perfect pictures are almost always guaranteed.
• Finally, return to the camp for dinner and an overnight stay.

• Start with an early morning game drive, then return to the lodge for breakfast.
• After breakfast, continue with a full-day game drive in the park with a packed lunch.
• You will be in search of the park's popular residents, including well-known predators and their prey - zebras, wildebeests, giraffes, and hippos - all with views of Mount Kilimanjaro.
• Spend the whole day in Amboseli National Park with morning and afternoon game drives. This park is truly an animal's paradise.
• Later, return to your camp for dinner and your overnight stay.

• Have an early morning breakfast and then check out of the camp.
• Leave for Nairobi with a picnic lunch en route.
• On arrival in Nairobi, you will be dropped off at your hotel or the airport.
