Itinerary

1 hour 30 minutes

Whether you are flying in the first morning, or already staying at a hotel or residence within the city of Nairobi, we will come and collect you and transfer you to Wilson Airport for your scheduled domestic flight to Samburu National Reserve. On a clear day, your flight path should offer you stunning views over the northern Kenyan plains, including the second highest mountain in Africa, Mount Kenya.

From the airport your guide will collect you and take you straight to Samburu, as you make your way through the park to your luxury safari accommodation you will catch your first glimpses of the fauna on display in the rugged landscape. Lunch will be served at your camp and the afternoon will be spent on a game drive through the park.

Your expert Kenyan safari guide will be able to help you spot, identify, and photograph the great animals of the park and the cooling air of the late afternoon is a perfect chance to see young at play and the bustle of watering holes. Upon return to the camp, dinner will be served and you can spend your first evening listening to the river run by.

The first night of your luxury safari includes:

  • Luxury accommodation at your camp or lodge
  • Overnight stay inside Samburu National Reserve
  • Lunch and dinner, no breakfast
  • Drinking water and selected beers, wines, and spirits

Every itinerary can be crafted to your needs, from adjusting the length of your stay to including different accommodation and refining the route. Your safari is yours, shaped around your idea of a dream experience.
