HIGHLIGHTS OF KENYA ITINERARY:
DAYS 1-2: USA or Canada/Nairobi, Kenya
Depart by overnight flight to Nairobi. Nairobi Serena
Hotel
DAY 3: Nairobi/Nanyuki
Embark on a scenic drive to Nanyuki and Sweetwaters Tented Camp,
set in a 24,000-acre game reserve at the foot of Mount Kenya. As
one of only four private game reserves in Kenya, Sweetwaters
provides privileged seclusion and private game viewing. A
watering hole close to your tent provides a cool morning drink
for giraffe, and an unforgettable moment from your tent's
private verandah. This is one of the largest sanctuaries in East
Africa for the endangered black rhino (including Morani, an
orphaned rhino given a home at Sweetwaters) and the only place
in Kenya to see chimpanzee. An afternoon safari drive from the
camp takes you across the extensive savannah grasslands, a
terrain favored by elephant.
Enjoy a special welcome dinner and safari briefing.

DAY 4: Nanyuki/Samburu Game Reserve
This morning, travel to the Samburu Game Reserve and on to your
lodge. Positioned on the banks of the Uaso Nyiro River, Samburu
Serena Lodge blends into its surroundings of tall trees, and
reflects the lifestyle of the local Samburu people through the
use of native materials and design. An afternoon game drive
reveals unique northern species, including the reticulated
giraffe, beisa oryx, Grevy's zebra and the graceful long-necked
gerenuk. Samburu Serena Lodge B L D
DAY 5: Samburu Game Reserve
Absorb the beautiful surroundings during morning and afternoon
bush drives. Watch crocodile basking on the muddy riverbanks and
vervet monkey frolicking in the late afternoon sun. At night,
leopard can sometimes be seen on the riverbank opposite your
lodge. Samburu is an excellent place for the photographer as
well. The park's vivid colors and the contrasts between sky,
bush and sand are a must to capture on film. Samburu

DAY 6: Samburu/Masai Mara Game Reserve
Awaken to the sounds of an unspoiled wilderness. After
breakfast, board a flight to cross the Great Rift Valley to the
Masai Mara Game Reserve. The jewel in Africa's crown, the Mara
is host to the most spectacular array of wildlife, which are
constantly changing as the plains game follows ancient migration
routes under the watchful eyes of the lion, leopard and cheetah
that prey on the vulnerable. Game viewing is never dull in the
Mara, and patience is often rewarded with unique sightings, such
as a pride of lion stalking their prey, a solitary leopard
retrieving its kill from the high branches of an acacia tree or
a herd of elephant protecting their young from predators.

DAYS 7-8: Masai Mara Game Reserve
Spend two exciting days driving across the limitless plains in
search of abundant wildlife in one of Kenya's most spectacular
areas. Running along the Tanzanian border, the Masai Mara forms
Kenya's northern extension of the Greater Serengeti ecosystem.
It is here that the annual migration takes place, when more than
a million wildebeest, with zebra and gazelle, march north to
graze on the Mara's lush grasses. This vast, open space is like
nowhere else on earth and is the perfect place to pause and
reflect. On morning and afternoon game drives, view some of
Africa's largest prides of lion, herds of zebra, buffalo,
wildebeest, giraffe, cheetah and hyena.
Gather on the second evening for a special farewell dinner.

have made as you leave the Mara and transfer to the airstrip for
your flight to Nairobi (perhaps catching a final glimpse of the
animals en route). The balance of the day is at your leisure - a
perfect chance for any last minute shopping. This evening you
are transferred to the airport where your departure flight
awaits. Nairobi Serena Hotel (dayroom) B
