lodge, you have the early afternoon free, before
going for an afternoon game drive till dusk.
Samburu National Reserve is a wildlife haven.
Here you will spot Africa’s big cats - lions,
cheetahs and the elusive leopard. Some animals
are unique to this northern Kenya park: Grevy's
zebra, reticulated giraffe, kudu and gerenuk.
The The Ewaso Nyiro River, the boundary with the
neighboring Buffalo Springs National Reserve, is
where the elephants, buffalo and other animal
species gather for a drink. You will find the
scenic semiarid landscape quite dramatic. The
reserve is located within the lands of the
colourful semi-nomadic Samburu tribesmen.

National Park for an evening of game viewing
from the unique tree hotel, The Ark.
Aberdares National Park has a diverse topography
that includes icy rivers, spectacular waterfalls
and rain forests. The flora and fauna is quite
unique and is not found elsewhere in the
country, expect on Mount Kenya. Leopard,
elephant, serval, waterbuck, reedbuck, dikdik,
rhino and the rare bongo can all be found here.

Afternoon game drive in Lake Nakuru National
Park.
Lake Nakuru's claim to fame is anchored on its
flamingo's and the over 400 species of birds
found here. The lake itself is a soda lake on
the floor of the rift valley. The sight of the
at times millions of flamingos is quite
spectacular. From a distance the lake appears
ringed in pink. The Lake has also earned a
reputation as an important haven for endangered
species- particularly the Rothschild Giraffe and
the black and white rhino. Lions, waterbuck,
buffalo and baboons are all residents here.

Valley to arrive at Maasai Mara in time for

The Mara offers wildlife in such variety and

You will easily see lions, rhinos, hippos,
crocodiles, giraffe, wildebeests, zebras,
buffalo, warthogs, hyenas, jackals, wild dogs,
buffalo, leopard, many kinds of antelopes and
elephant. It is in the Mara that perhaps the
most spectacular event of the natural world
takes place. This is the annual migration of
millions of wildebeest and zebra from the
Serengeti (Tanzania) in search of water and
pasture. Following on their heels are the
predators of the savanna- lion, cheetah, wild
dog, jackal, hyena and vultures.
