In the morning, depart Nairobi through Kikuyu country via Thika (the setting for Elspeth Huxley's "The Flame Trees of Thika") to the Aberdare Forest. The forest is rich in wildlife: Colobus monkeys in the canopy forest, herds of elephant and buffalo, the giant forest hog, rhino and, if you're lucky, the rare bongo antelope. |
| Day 13 Samaburu |
Cross the equator to the Samburu Game Reserve (most northerly of the popular parks). Samburu is wilder and harsher than the parks to the south with a savage beauty. This area is noted for the its unusual Grevy Zebra, reticulated giraffe, gerenuk (giraffe-necked antelope), along with ostrich, oryx and a variety of other animals. |
| Day 14 Samaburu |
Another day to enjoy the Samburu Game Reserve. |
| Day 15 Lake Nakuru |
Safari to Lake Nakuru in the eastern Rift Valley. This area is known for its great concentration of flamingo (numbering over a million at times) and many other species of water birds. There are several species of mammals in the surrounding Acacia woodland, the most numerous being the lovely Defassa waterbuck. |
| Day 16 Masai Country |
Safari to Masai country to one of Kenya's best known reserves and richest wildlife sanctuaries. Masai Mara is a vast area just north of the Serengeti with 700 square miles of savannah and patch forest. In the heart of Masai country, game is rarely out of sight - huge herds of buffalo, knogoni, topi and wildebeast on the plains, baboons and bushbuck in the forest. But above all: black-maned lion! Here are the most abundant prides in Kenya. In the midst of wild splendor, it is not unusual to encounter a Masai tending his herds, with nothing but a spear for protection. |
| Day 17 Masai Country |
Continue to view game. You may want to attend one of the following options: Lake Victoria Flying Safari, or Balloon Safari. |
| Day 18 Nairobi / Cairo |
Return to Nairobi and fly to Cairo. Upon arrival, you will be met and transferred to your hotel. Late evening transfer to airport for your flight home. |
