We will have lunch along the way as we travel through the farmlands or at our next camp. Our accommodation will be at Elephant Bedroom Camp, inside Samburu Game Reserve which lies along the Ewaso Nyiro River providing life to the reserve. This is an intimate tented camp situated amongst the tree and indigenous bush. You can relax at camp for a bit before we go on our first game drive in the Big Five Samburu National Reserve. This is an arid area with savannah that is surrounded by mountains including the tall Ol Olokwe Mountain. In Samburu you get the chance to encounter the traditional Samburu tribe, and gain insight into their customs and culture.

Cheetahs, elephants, lions and buffalos are frequently sighted, along with various antelopes, including striking-looking gemsbok, gazelles, waterbuck and tiny dikdiks.

An early morning breakfast will prepare us for a full-day game drive in Lake Nakuru National Park. Hopefully we will spot hippos, baboons, black and white rhin, giraffes, zebras and buffalo. The birds are attracted to Lake Nakuru because it is a shallow soda lake that provides nutrients to over 400 different birds. It is a birder’s paradise and a Ramsar Wetland Area. When conditions are right, Lake Nakuru is visited by large flamingo flocks – an incredible sight. Fall asleep to the sounds of nature at Mbweha Safari Camp. Accommodation: Mbweha Safari Camp
