Kenya Bush & Beach Adventure Expedition

Arrive in Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (time to be advised). Meet and assist by our airport representative. After briefing, we will travel North to Samburu Game Reserve. Relax along the way and have lunch. After lunch continue with the journey arriving in Samburu in the late afternoon in time for a late game drive in search of the rarely found species of wild game like the rare reticulated giraffe, grevy's zebra, the long necked gerenuk antelopes. Beisa Oryx, blue flanked Somali ostrich, vulturine guinea fowl and also braving lions on the grass, leopards in the trees and plenty of other plains game.

Enjoy a full day of African game viewing and bird watching.  The Samburu Game Reserve offers what is arguably Kenya’s greatest – and least changed – encounter with the wild Africa of yesteryear.  This harsh, savagely beautiful wilderness depends on the steady flow of the Uaso Nyiro River for its existence.  The river waters house a wide variety of animal species not found south of the Equator including the majestic Beisa Oryx, the reticulated giraffe, the thin-striped Grevy’s zebra, and the ‘giraffe-necked’ gerenuk antelope, which stands on its hind legs to feed.  Elephant, buffalo, lion and leopard can all be seen along the river. The 400-plus species of birds complete the perfect experience in Samburu. This is the home of the Samburu tribe, cousins of the Maasai, who share the same nomadic, cattle-herding existence, and an even stricter adherence to their age-old rites and customs.  

Breakfast at the lodge and depart for Lake Nakuru National Park. Arrive in time for lunch and have an afternoon game drive in the park. The Park is renowned worldwide for its hundreds of thousands of pink flamingos that colour its shows in pink. Lake Nakuru is a shallow alkaline lake in Kenya's Rift Valley and some 62 km2 in extent. In late 80's the park also became Kenya's first rhino sanctuary and is today home to both the White and Black Rhinos. Lions, leopards, hippos, giraffes, waterbucks are equally at home in this unique park.

After breakfast, drive to Masai Mara Game Reserve.  Arrive and have lunch before embarking for an afternoon game drive.

The jewel in Africa’s crown, Masai Mara, is host to the most spectacular array of wildlife such as Lions, elephant, Cheetah, leopard, Rhinos, giraffe, gazelle, zebras among others.  Game viewing is never dull in the Mara and patience is often rewarded with unique sightings: a pride of lion stalking their prey; a solitary leopard retrieving its kill from the high branches of an acacia tree; a male wildebeest sparring to attract females into their harem; a herd of elephant protecting their young from opportunistic predators.  

Early breakfast and drive to Amboseli National Park, one of the most popular of Kenya's national parks.  Have a stopover in Nairobi for lunch before proceeding to Amboseli. Arrive at the hotel with a game drive enroute.

Amboseli lies at the foot of Africa's highest mountain, Kilimanjaro (19,340 ft.) and very close to the Tanzania border.  The snowcapped peak of Mount Kilimanjaro dominates every aspect of Amboseli.  The snows of Kilimanjaro, white and crystalline, form a majestic backdrop to one of Kenya's most spectacular displays of wildlife - lion, elephant, leopard, rhino, cheetah, buffalo and hosts of plains' game, creating Kenya's most sought after photographer's paradise.  

Today we will explore the Park which covers only 150 square miles, yet, despite its small size, its fragile ecosystem supports a wide range of mammals (well over 50 of the larger species) and birds (over 400 species).  Years ago this was the locale around which such famous writers as Ernest Hemingway and Robert Ruark spun their stories of big-game hunting in the wilds of Africa.  It is also the home of the Maasai people. Swamps and springs, fed by underground rivers from Kilimanjaro's melting snows form permanent watering places for the wildlife through times of drought.

After breakfast, depart Amboseli for Tsavo west national park arriving in time for lunch at Ngulia safari lodge .The world's most magnificent game viewing awaits you! Vast herds of dust-red elephant, fat pods of hippo, giant crocodiles, teeming herds of savannah dwellers plus a fantasia of birds and magical flora flourish here. The Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary protects Tsavo's growing population of endangered black rhino, successfully inching their way back from the brink of extinction caused by rampant poaching in the 1960's. Beautiful Lake Jipe, straddling the Kenya/Tanzania border, offers memorable experiences of abundant aquatic and bird life viewing - from a hired boat!.

Depart Tsavo west after breakfast for Tsavo east National Park arriving in time for lunch .Tsavo East National Park lies to the east of the Nairobi - Mombasa highway, equi-distant between Nairobi and Mombasa and offers a vast and untapped arena of arid bush which is washed by the azure and emerald meanderings of the Galana River, guarded by the limitless lava reaches of the Yatta Plateau and patrolled by some of the largest elephant herds in Kenya.
