Day 4

Fly Samburu & Buffalo Springs National Reserve – Samburu Intrepids Camp

After breakfast, transfer to the airstrip for your morning scheduled flight to Nairobi. We en-plane and travel by light aircraft 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 Intrepids Camp, our luxurious hostelry set beneath a canopy of acacia trees along the banks of the river.

Day 5

Samburu & Buffalo Springs National Reserve – Samburu Intrepids Camp

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.

Day 6

Fly Masai Mara National Reserve – Mara Serena Lodge

Excitement and expectations build as we fly to the Masai Mara with its myth-like stories of bountiful wildlife. And we shan’t be disappointed. Our game drives are rousing exploits in the company of guides who regale us with bush lore, educate us on conservation and entertain us with tall tales. Here we also experience such adventures as a Masai village visit, so foreign and yet so welcoming, and a Bush Walk to indulge all of our senses. And the climax? Bush Sundowners—a unique joy of safari life, where one savors the exotic contradiction of a civilized cocktail party staged in the untamed wildness of Africa. Our Mara Serena Lodge accommodations provide delightful nights during our stay in the Mara. .

Day 7

Masai Mara National Reserve – Mara Serena Lodge

Today we get a closer look at the Mara during two extensive game runs. On the plains are enormous herds of grazing animals plus predators—cheetah and black-maned lion— hiding amidst acacia trees. We also savor a Bush Walk with an expert naturalist guide, experiencing the world of the Mara as if we are one with it. And, during a Masai village visit, we glimpse life so ancient and yet so enduring that it astonishes. Finally, the pinnacle of our stay, a Bush Cocktail Party at sunset, deep in the heart of the savannah.
