EIGHT-DAYS SAFARI TO SAMBURU/ABERDARES/MAASAI MARA/L.NAKURU/NAIVASHA
Safari Overview
Prepare yourself for an extraordinary 8-day expedition through Kenya, a land teeming with breathtaking landscapes and an abundance of wildlife. Our journey begins in the Maasai Mara, where the vast savannah stretches out before us, teeming with the iconic Big Five – lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo, and rhinos. Here, we will witness the awe-inspiring spectacle of the Great Migration, as millions of wildebeest and zebra embark on their annual journey in search of greener pastures.
From the golden savannahs, we will venture into the lush forests of the Aberdare Mountains. These misty highlands are home to a diverse array of flora and fauna, including colobus monkeys, giant forest hogs, and a multitude of bird species. We will trek through the dense undergrowth, marveling at the towering waterfalls and cascading streams that define this magical landscape.
Our expedition continues to Samburu, a region known for its rugged terrain and unique wildlife. Here, we will encounter the elusive gerenuk, long-necked gerenuk, the striped Grevy’s zebra, and the reticulated giraffe. Samburu is also home to a variety of predators, including lions, leopards, and cheetahs, which we will seek out on thrilling game drives through the acacia-dotted plains.
No journey to Kenya is complete without exploring the bird-life haven of Lake Nakuru. This shallow alkaline lake is home to millions of flamingos, creating a spectacular pink spectacle that can be seen for miles around. We will also visit Lake Naivasha, a tranquil freshwater lake surrounded by papyrus reeds and acacia trees. Here, we will have the opportunity to boat on the lake, encountering hippos, pelicans, and fish eagles.
