Days. DAY
1 AND 2
We leave Nairobi for Samburu National Reserve at 0900 hrs.This park is
situated within the lands of the colorful Samburu people,close relatives
of the Maasai people.
A picnic lunch will be served on the way and we shall arrive in time for
an evening game drive.
The park harbors a number of wildlife species rarely found elsewhere in
any large numbers.These include the Grevy's gazelle, the reticulated giraffe
and the Beisic orynx,all species only found north of the equator.
The Ewaso Ngiro river which rises some hundreds of kilometers to the west
is fringed with giant acacias and offers shade and sustenance to wildlife
that comes to the river.Elephants find solace and contentment from the
river and can be found bathing and drinking in a spectacle of unconscious
pleasure.
Dinner will be at the preferred choice of accommodation.
The second day will be spent game viewing in the park.All meals will be
served at the campsite.
DAY 3
We shall leave the park in the afternoon and drive to the Aberdare,
where we will spend the night at one of the luxurious Tree Top Lodges
situated in the lush forests of the Aberdares.
These Lodges overlook waterholes and salt licks that become somewhat busy
as the sun sets as the animals come to quench their thirst after a long
day.
DAY 4
We shall leave the Aberdares in the morning for an evening game drive
at the Lake Nakuru National Park.This Park is often referred to as the
"pink lake" as it is world famous as the location of the greatest
bird spectacle on earth-the pink flamingo whose numbers are legion,often
more than a million or two.The lake is also rich in other birdlife with
over 400 resident species.The park has been enlarged to provide sanctuary
for the black rhino which exists here in the greatest concentration in
the country.
Other wild life found here include the Roth's -childgiraffe, the waterbuck,predators
like the lion ,leopard etc.
All meals will be provided from the accommodation base.
