  Day 1: Nairobi – Nairobi to Samburu National Reserve

  Pick up from Nairobi airport or Nairobi hotel. Drive on the scenic route via the central highlands to the Samburu National Reserve in the semi-arid northern frontier of Kenya.

The reserves lie on the fringes of the vast and arid desert once known as the Northern Frontier District. The combined landscape of the Samburu game reserve features rocky battlements, craggy scarps, dry river beds and fallen boulders rising out of the thorn scrub against a backdrop of the far-distant hills and the great red table mountain known as Ololokwe. Overnight at Mara Sopa Lodge.

  After breakfast, proceed to the Lake Nakuru National Park Take an afternoon bird and game viewing drive before returning to the lodge in time for maybe a swim, optional cocktail and dinner. Entitled ‘the greatest bird spectacle on earth’ thanks to the millions of fuchsia-pink flamingo that flock to feed on the teeming algae of its alkaline waters, the pink-frosted shores and sky-mirrored waters of Lake Nakuru yield some of the most evocatively beautiful photo-images in Africa. Kenya’s first and largest rhino sanctuary, sightings of both black and white rhino are almost guaranteed, while plentiful waterbuck, warthog, zebra, gazelle and buffalo graze the shoreline. Echoing to the haunting cries of the numerous fish eagles, this is also the park in which you have the best chance of seeing a leopard. Overnight at Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge.
