Detailed Itinerary
Day
1: Nairobi –
Drive to Aberdare National Park or Mt. Kenya National
Park
Depart Nairobi after breakfast .Our destination today
is the Aberdare National Park. We travel overland
through plantations of coffee and tea to The Aberdare
Country Club, nestled on the slopes of Mweiga Hill.
After
high tea, set off for the Ark tree lodge, located
in the forest on mountain slopes of the Aberdare Mountains
at 7,000 feet. This outstanding lodge offers high
altitude game viewing, including animals that are
rarely encountered elsewhere: giant forest hog, bush
pig, tree hyrax, large spotted genet, and the elusive
bongo.
Wildlife
can be observed from different levels – and
from outside where you can see, hear and smell everything
and inside where you can sit with a cup of tea and
stay warm and cozy.
You
can put in a request to be awakened during the night
if your favorite animals show up. A herd of Elephants
might be just feet away and if you are lucky, a Leopard
or large male Lion might put in an appearance.

the Serena Mountain Lodge

Game Reserve
This morning we travel by road to Kenya’s northern
frontier. Wild and rugged, Samburu is fiercely beautiful
with its arid savannahs watered by the lovely Uaso
Nyiro River.
It
is also one of Kenya’s most protected areas
and home to species only found north of the equator,
from the reticulated giraffe to Grevy’s zebras
and Beisa oryxes. We also enjoy Larsens Tented Camp
or Samburu Intrepids Camp, our luxurious tents set
beneath a canopy of acacia trees along the banks of
the river.

Dawn breaks in golden bands as we start our day in
the bush by scanning the river from our tent’s
veranda with a cup of steaming coffee in hand. Before
the dew is off the grass, we’re off in pursuit
of the elephants, lions, leopards, and cheetahs that
thrive in the reserve’s grasslands and acacia
woodlands.
And
so the day is spent in alternating pursuits of exploration
in the bush and relaxation in our cozy camp.

We
visit the Chimpanzee Sanctuary, a charming haven established
by the Jane Goodall Institute to provide sanctuary
to orphaned chimps, and the specially protected and
fenced refuge of black rhino with its stunning forty
specimens!
In
fact Sweetwaters boasts excellent game viewing with
the highest ratio of game to area of any park or reserve
in Kenya. Moreover, the camp has its own private waterhole
and salt lick so we’ll be guaranteed unprecedented
close encounters. Whether its day or night game drives,
camel trekking, lion tracking, al fresco dining or
relaxing by pool, Sweetwaters is bound to delight.

comfort and splendor. Our tents at Sweetwaters will
remind us of this bygone era.
