Mention code 6068048 | | Intrepid Travel | | | | Day | Destination | Description | | Day 1 | Nairobi | At an altitude of 1,700 m Nairobi is the continent's highest capital city. | | Days 2-3 | Samburu National Park | Travel over the equator and across the shoulder of Mt Kenya to reach the arid north of the country. In this region, the local Samburu are easily identified by their resplendent clothes and ornate jewellery. Spend two nights in a lodge on the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River which offers a view of crocodiles from the veranda. On game drives through the Samburu, look out for giraffes, zebras, gerenuks and oryx. | | Day 4 | Aberdare National Park | Stay at the famous Treetops Hotel in the heart of Aberdare National Park. Featuring panoramic views of the forest and waterholes below, there are opportunities for superb game viewing both night and day. Buffaloes, rhinos and giant forest hogs are common visitors here. | | Day 5 | Lake Nakuru | Head west to Lake Nakuru National Park in the heart of the Rift Valley. The lake is justly famous for its visiting flocks of flamingos, pelicans and cormorants but land animals are well represented also. Rare Rothschild's giraffes, black and white rhinos all flourish within the park boundaries. | | Days 6-7 | Masai Mara | One of Africa's most famous reserves, the Masai Mara is a landscape of undulating plains and riverine woodland. The vegetation sustains buffaloes, gazelles and myriad other herbivores. In turn, these well-fed creatures are food for black-maned lions, leopards, cheetahs and other stealthy predators. Drive out at dusk or dawn to catch these great cats in action. | | Day 8 | Nairobi | Make a return to the country's capital just in time for lunch. |
