Days/ 8 Nights Kenya Safari Detailed
Itinerary
Day
1: Nairobi —
Drive to Sweetwaters
Game Sanctuary
After breakfast, we travel overland
to the Sweetwaters game reserve and chimpanzee sanctuary.
This 70,000-acre private preserve has views of the
peaks of Mount Kenya and offers game drives into countryside
many travelers never see. We check into our tented
camp or Lodge where we stay for the next two nights.
We have lunch in camp. Sweetwaters land, the Ol Pejeta
Conservancy and its sumptuous ranch were once the
private domain of famed multi-millionaire, Adnan Kashoggi.
This afternoon game
drive takes us to 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.

3 Sweetwaters — Drive to Samburu 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, our luxurious
hostelry set beneath a canopy of acacia trees along
the banks of the river.

4: Explore Samburu Game Reserve
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 or Lodge.

game drive, on which we can expect to see buffalo,
rhino, giraffe, zebra, antelope and the lions that
prey on them as well as vast flocks of flamingos clustered
near the lake shore.
Lake Nakuru is famous
for having the highest concentration of flamingos
in the world and is home to over three hundred bird
species. It is a sanctuary for both the Black and
White Rhinos.
Also found in plenty
are zebras, waterbucks, buffaloes and warthogs. Leopards
are sometimes seen sleeping on the horizontal branches
of the 'Fever trees'. Supper is at our lodge overlooking

harmoniously with the wildlife.
After lunch at your
residence lodge another game run is planned in these
vast rolling grasslands. Here we find the Old Africa
of the movies, with rolling grasslands dotted by
acacia trees and sweeping plains teeming with Wildlife.
No matter how much
you have thought about Africa, this is more than
you expected, and the ideal backdrop for a hot air
balloon expedition. During our stay we also visit
a village of the Masai people to witness the singing
and dancing that are part of their daily lives and
sacred rituals. A glimpse into their homes and social
structure is a poignant experience.

takes place between the months of July and October.
During
this time over a million wildebeests accompanied
by thousands of other herbivores, migrate from Serengeti
National Park to the Mara in search for greener
pastures.
Hundreds
of lions and hyenas follow them picking on the old
and weaker ones. The legendary black mane lion is
only found in Masai Mara. The cheetah hunts best
in these open grasslands.
