AWS 022: 7days Road
Safari Samburu Tree lodge-L. Nakuru-Maasai Mara
Day 1:
Head north to the dramatic semi-arid scrubland of the Northern
Frontier. After lunch, an afternoon game drive to sight resident
wildlife species like the Reticulated Giraffe, Grevy's Zebra,
Beisa Oryx and the blue-necked Somali Ostrich that are rare
elsewhere in the
country. Dinner and the night will be spent along the banks
of the Uaso Nyiro River at one of the luxurious Samburu lodges.
Day 2:
Further exploration of this fascinating reserve awaits you.
Early morning and afternoon game drives give a chance to travel
over some
of the world's most spectacular and exciting terrain. Meals
and overnight at the lodge.
Day 3:
After breakfast, depart for the Mt Kenya region. Lunch will
be at a base hotel from where you will be transferred to your
tree lodge. Enjoy the unique experience of all night and unlimited
game viewing. Dinner and overnight at a tree lodge surrounded
by forest and
overlooking an illuminated waterhole and salt lick.
Day 4:
After breakfast, transfer to base hotel for onward journey
to Nakuru. Arrive in time for lunch. Enjoy an afternoon game
drive in Lake Nakuru National Park. The park provides a sanctuary
for the rhino. Lake Nakuru has always been considered a flamingo
lake par excellence. The contrast and apparent dislocation
between the shallow soda lake with its primeval birds and
the animated woods all around it give Lake Nakuru National
Park a very distinctive appeal. Dinner and overnight at a
lodge over looking the lake.
Day 5:
After breakfast, depart for Masai Mara - the land of vast
migrating herds. Arrive in time for lunch. In the afternoon,
embark on a game
drive to get a closer look at the Mara. Returns to an archetypal
Mara lodge/tented camp for sundowners, dinner and overnight
stay.
Day 6:
Awaken to the sounds of the big game country and venture out
to absorb the enormity of the Mara. In this country of breathtaking
vistas, view its vast assemblages of plains game together
with their associated predators: Buffalo, Black Rhino, Hippopotamus,
Leopard, Cheetah, Common Zebra, Coke's Hartebeest, White bearded
Gnu, Oribi, Warthog, and Thompson's and Grant's Gazelles.
An early evening game drive to catch up on all that was missed.
All meals and overnight stay at the lodge.
Day 7:
After breakfast, return to Nairobi Overnight Intercontinental
Hotel.
